Adding a personal touch truly enhances the final finish of any crafted product, be it a bench, planter, or house name on a gate. It not only infuses sentimental value but also serves the practical purpose of providing direction. In the customisation of each timber item, we offer the choice between Laser Engraving and Traditional Routering.

Laser Engraving:

Laser engraving employs a high-precision laser to intricately etch designs or text onto the surface, producing a visually striking contrast that effortlessly captures attention. This method achieves a dark, precise route, ensuring a seamless finish.

Benefits of Laser Engraving:

Very precise – Laser engraving allows for delicate details, unleashing a level of precision that elevates your design.

Bold and Dark Finish – The engraved areas boast a dark colour, creating a powerful visual impact that stands out against the natural wood tones.

Versatility in Design – From intricate patterns to personalised text, laser engraving offers a range of possibilities for customisation.

Limitation:

Untreated timber only – Laser engraving is only suitable on untreated wood

Traditional Routering:

For those who appreciate a more traditional aesthetic, traditional routering involves the meticulous art of cutting designs or text into the timber, creating a tactile and subtle embellishment that seamlessly integrates with the wood’s natural allure. This method not only preserves the timeless beauty of craftsmanship but also allows for a deeper exploration of textures and patterns, adding an extra layer of intricacy to your personalised timber pieces.

Advantages of Traditional Routering:

Understated Elegance: Traditional routering exudes a timeless charm, adding an understated elegance to your timber creations.

Textural Depth: Routered designs enhance the tactile experience, allowing you to feel the personalised details on the surface.

Versatility Across Timber Types: Unlike laser engraving, traditional routering is compatible with both untreated and treated timber, offering flexibility in customisation.

Whether you’re drawn to the precision of laser engraving or the timeless allure of traditional routering, both options offer durable and stylish ways for personalisation. Laser engraving, with its high-precision techniques, ensures not only a visually striking outcome but also lasting durability. On the other hand, traditional routering not only embraces timeless aesthetics but also provides a robust and tactile depth to the personalised details, standing the test of time with enduring charm.
