I create images and laser etch them using multiple lasers onto all things wood, leather, metal, and slate; cutting boards, wooden spoons, wooden boxes, wooden key chains, slate serving dishes, slate coasters, leather journals, leather key chains, metal dog tags, metal rings, wooden bottle openers, metal bottle opens, metal pendants, metal bookmarks, decorative axes and knives. I specialize in Scottish, Celtic, all things fantasy based, patriotic, superhero and occult imagery.
I'm a long time employee of United Healthcare and I often say I'm a SQL developer by day and crazy crafter by night. I'm a sole proprietorship crafter that started crafting long before I was an adult. I've been creative all my life and gravitate towards power tool crafting. I began an earlier business with a friend as just a way of hanging out together, we did jewelry. Jewelry got boring for me; I began doing marble coasters with beer labels. Every year I try to challenge myself to ensure boredom doesn't take hold again. I started etching in 2015 with sandblasting, I've come along way since then, I now etch with 4 different laser engravers and due to AI my art has become detailed and unique. I tend to lean towards the weird and geeky side of life and enjoy etching what I'd like to buy. My business provides me an outlet for my creativity and helps to alleviate the stress from a very stressful daytime job. I stand by every product I sell and believe firmly in keeping my prices at a point where everyone can buy something from my table. I think crafting is way of sharing part of yourself with new people, when you create like I do you're showing part of your inner self.
