Personalization Options
Here are the options to consider so that I can make something special for YOU
Woods:
-
Domestic or exotic wood is locally available or can be obtained nationally.
Design for Boxes:
-
Options of miter joint (with or w/o contrasting keys) or box joints or dovetail joints.
-
Lids either friction fit or hinged to the box back.
-
Hinges of simple brass plated hinges affixed to the back of the box or Veritas solid brass stop hinges or high end USA made solid brass Brusso stop hinges.
Pens:
-
The shop page shows the types of pens that I normally create.
-
Specific designs can be requested - contact me to discuss your needs.
Size:
Maximum work dimensions of 25" in all directions.
Finish:
-
Standard finish for boxes is an oil based varnish/wax/oil finish, but other finishes such as oil or lacquer are available.
-
Charcuterie Boards are always finished with Food Grade Mineral Oil, followed by beeswax.
-
Pens are finished with a pen varnish for durability or CA if a high gloss is desired.
Engraving:
-
I recommend that all personalization for boxes and pens use laser engraving.
-
Signs are CNC router engraved. The non engraved areas can be wood color, stained with a variety of colors, or painted.
