What a wild and crazy couple of months we have had here at MBJD Laser leading up to Christmas. It is always amazing to us how incredibly busy we get with personal one of a kind Christmas jobs. Here are a few we have done in the last couple of days that we hope you find ineresting.
The upper left photo shows a bamboo cutting board that our customer wanted an old family go to recipe for Potato Dumblings. Although it doesn't look like much in the photograph in our opinion what makes it so special is the hand written signature of the grandmother. We made 9 total and they turned out fabulous.
The upper right photo is a wooden boat oar. This was tough to do simply because it was to large to fit in our laser. We worked some magic to make this gem happen. Basically we masked the entire oar, lasered it, then black paint filled the engraving to get the dark black / stand off look.
The lower left project with the baby feet was one of our favorites. Our customer needed a gift for a baby shower and bought this white granite piece for us to work with. After about a month of planning, they decided on a prayer, and they also wanted a copy of the birth certificate footprints as well. The hardest part was scanning the footprints into photoshop and working the the prints over so that we could get a good laser image for our machine. Similar to the oar we masked the entire piece, lasered it, and finally paint filled with black paint. Amazing look!!
The bottom right are some new style wine tumblers. These are not hard to do, just shown here to show a new style that are becoming very popular.
Lastly the bottom picture of the stainless steel plate was a lot of fun. We always enjoy making special pieces on new substrates. We actually used cermark for this piece and the final product as you can see was stunning. We did 2 plates total. Each plate weighed 15 lbs each and was 18" x 12". Fun project!
