What we work in

Four materials

01

Wood

Hardwood boards and inlay. Grain does the talking. We finish so it can actually live in a kitchen.

02

Metal

Steel, copper, and color-marked stainless. Deep engraving, MOPA color, and jewelry from the same bench.

03

Glass

Etched tumblers and drinkware. A cactus on the base is not decoration. It is the piece.

04

Vinyl

Records cut into wall work. The album becomes the object, not a leftover.

How a piece happens

Brief, then cut

You tell us who it is for. We draw it, cut it, and finish it so it can leave the shop.

  1. 01

    Brief

    Name, date, animal, logo, or a sentence you want to keep. Size and material if you already know them.

  2. 02

    Vector

    We turn that into a clean file. If it needs a drawing, we make one. You see it before it hits the machine.

  3. 03

    Cut

    Laser, mill, or torch, depending on the material. Color mark on steel. Deep engrave where it has to last.

  4. 04

    Finish

    Edges, oil, polish, hardware. Then it leaves Tempe.
