Customize Your Piece
Each item I make is made to order and the building of it starts after a digital proof is agreed on. Below are some of the options you have to customize your item. If you have other ideas, please let me know.
Dimensions
If you want to adjust the dimensions of the item to fit your needs/decor, let me know. In most cases, the dimension can easily be adjusted.
Color
The items I build can come in natural color or can be stained or painted. Each of the examples will list what color stain (or natural) was used. If you would like another stain to match your decor, let me know. Please note that wood stains a little differently from piece to piece and may not be the exact color.
Custom Design
Customize your piece with a logo, design, monogram, name, or almost anything else of your choosing. Once you choose the item you want and fill out the form, you will be asked to email a file with the design you want. There are 4 different mediums that I can use. You can also use a combination of these mediums. These are detailed below with samples
Epoxy Fill
When using epoxy resin, your personal design will be carved out and filled with the epoxy resin. This will then be polished to give a smooth glass-like finish. You can select what color you would like the finish to be. Epoxy resin is extremely hard and durable.
Please note, this method cannot be used in very small detailed designs. I will let you know if it cannot be used once I look at you design.
Laser Burn
When laser burning, the wood is actually burned and etched away leaving a permanent design. The etched area will give it a "burned" color. This method is extremely detailed and can be used in small to large designs.
The design will then be sealed to provide protection from everyday use.
Paint
When using paint, a template will be created of your design and then used as a stencil to lay down several coats of paint. The painted design will then be layered with several coats of finish to protect your design from weather and everyday use. Let me know what color you would like.
I can also distress the paint to give it a weathered look - see examples in the samples.
Vinyl
A cut out will be made using your design and then "fused" to your item. This is done either by ironing the vinyl or by using permanent adhesive. The design will then be layered with several coats of finish to protect your design from weather and everyday use.
Please note, there are a limited colors that can be used. I can let you know once I get your design and color request.
