A wedding gift should still be in the house at the tenth anniversary. Stone and wood last, and both can carry two names and a date.
We are a small workshop in Encinitas, California. Send us the photo, the names or the date and we make the piece around them.
01
Made from your photo
The wedding photo, engraved in stone.
Send us a picture, a name or a date and we make the piece around it. A photo is engraved into natural slate, where the stone turns pale wherever the laser touches it; a pet is redrawn and built up in layers of wood. Nothing here exists until you order it, so no two are the same.

02
Stone for the table
Their names and the date, or the place they met.
Natural slate, laser engraved. Every tile is a little different in color and edge, which is the point. Coasters with your own words or drawing, and sets we designed ourselves.
Slate coasters, your design from $25

03
Layers of wood
Roses that keep, a heart in seven layers, and a mountain for the wall.
Six to eleven layers of basswood, laser cut, stained or painted one at a time and stacked, so each piece has real depth and throws its own shadows.

Mystic Mountain, eleven layers
04
Maps that light up
For the couple with a mountain or a train line in common.
A map for the wall with lights behind it that follow the real thing: where the trains are right now, which lifts are turning. Hang it, plug it in, and it keeps itself up to date.

Personalized pieces are made after you order, so give us extra time before a holiday. If you need something by a date, email [email protected] and we will tell you honestly whether we can do it.
