Laser Engraving

The purchase of an Epilog Laser Engraver has brought a new dimension to my work. This machine can engrave or etch on just about anything (wood, glass, metal, bone...)  and is very versatile. Maximum size is 12 x 24 inches. Below are some samples of things I have done recently. Clicking on the pictures will give you a larger view. I hope they give you ideas for your next project!

Recent work:

In conjunction with our friends over at Baconwood Box Company, we built these trophies. True Street trophy photos courtesy of Kevin Rowland - Southeastern Drag Racing League. Thanks Kevin!

The above trophies were done for our good friends at the Southeastern Drag Racing League for their last event on Memorial Day 2009.

This is a sign I made for my Dad as a Father's Day present. It is engraved in a plaque that resembles gray granite and has a black border.

I made plaques for my cousin who coaches his son's baseball team in Waukesha, Wisconsin. (He's a Packer fan [cheesehead], but otherwise pretty normal...)

A good example of the quality that can be achieved on my machine. This was done from a photograph at 300 dpi and is 12 inches wide.

Here is a sample of etching on glass. This small glass box has a design area of under 2 inches.

Another good example of the detail this machine is capable of. The belly on the frog is about a 5% yellow color so I put some walnut stain on it just to be sure it showed up.

As evidenced by my logo I love hummingbirds so I had to include this sample...
