Lookie there. This is today. Large cutting board with our exceptional dark black engraving. We have many many months in figuring how to acomplish this. This is one we snuck into the production line.

Seems like week after week we keep getting orders. I had pretty much stopped individual orders but I’m still known to take on a job here and there if i have any openings.This is about 1/3rd of this order. I’d show you the logo but there are “those” that like to steal my customers.

Grandson being taught how to engrave all the things that rattle in my head. He’s finding out how complicated this is. Then he steals my 3D printer.

Until further notice our business model has changed and I can only provide larger volumes orders. Example would be a case of 24 cups that have the same logo.

This is a first for me.

A photo of the actual tattoo (which isn't new to me) and then I digitalized it and cleaned up the writing. This was a mother's words she wrote to her daughter. It is very special.

What IS NEW. I have figured out a great way to add color to a cutting board engraving. I had read a little in people doing this but the method was absolutely terrible nor was it repeatable. Standard paint will bleed into the wood and mess up the engraving. I have a few days in figuring this out, but I eventually came up with a near-indestructible paint fill that is near perfect.

I was told this was a big hit with for the daughter.

NOTE: Engraved cutting boards are for display only.....Currently running 1 month behind....

Since purchasing our first laser in 2017, we have honed our skills in some of the most challenging tasks. Reproducing handwritten notes, last letters to loved ones, and old recipes has become our specialty. Our all-time favorite is a handwritten recipe from a loved one or from Grandma who wants to pass on her favorite recipe.

We can take even the most difficult recipes, written on stained index cards, and digitize the writing for reproduction. Once digitized, the information can be created on a variety of items, from wood and plastic to stainless steel. We can also remove words, lines, sentences, and paragraphs, and even add signatures in their handwriting, even if it's not on the recipe. This is almost guaranteed to be one of the most heartfelt gifts you have ever given or received.

If you want to have one of these made but tend to forget about us throughout the year, here's what you can do: Contact me here or email me at [email protected] and let me know you want one of these on a particular date. I'll quote you the cost and put you on my calendar. When the time nears, I'll contact you, and we will begin moving forward. No money down until I begin the design work usually about a month before your due date. You can even change your mind between now and then. How simple is that! I'll remember for you!

Remember, the real work is in creating the first design. If you order more than one, the cost is considerably less (around half price) because you only pay for the design once.

Keep us in mind. Send me an email or a message, and you can get in line before Christmas 2025.

Please read the comments under each picture for more information.

I'm going to pass on one of the most unique things I've seen in Insulated Beverage Holders or what most call Can Coolers. A local taxidermist stopped by and bought me out of these coolers and wants more. Amazing how hot these one-of-a-kind holders are and I bet you won't find them anywhere else.

This is a tanned hide that the cooler is wrapped with. Holstein might be the talk of the town. He Absolutely can't make these fast enough. He sold out today already! So if you want one with a great story to tell, send me a message in Messenger. The cost is $55 plus shipping, packaging and tax if in Missouri. I'll play the middleman so you can pay by credit card and I'll take care of the shipping for him.

Understand there is no personalization or engraving and since this is a handmade leather product there could be some imperfections and it may take a week or 2+ before shipping. Pickup can also be an option by appointment only.

If you want more information send me a message!!! Guaranteed to be a fantastic talking point within your groups!!!

PS: Available in Slim or Standard Holders...same price....

Some the the unique things I get asked to make. This is my granddaughter's first quilt she pieced together and then my wife quilted it. Lakeside was asked to make a faux leather tag for her first quilt. We have multiple colors and even some real leather. We have found an amazing product when ironed on, you can't remove it without pulling the material or the leather backing off. This is usually used on caps.

This comes in a large sheet in which we design and cut. We even cut in the stitching along the outside for the thread on this project. Sure....I know you are impressed with my engraving abilities but your comments are also welcome to comment on what a 17-year-old accomplished as well!!
