Although it's an engraving, the image, appears to be surprisingly like a photograph, but on wood. The likeness is excellent as you can see from the example. Images and text are engraved with a precision laser. All text and images have a nice crisp etch in the wood.

Depending on the orientation of your photo and the text you wish to have engraved, the plaque may be horizontal or vertical - whatever will fit best.

At the time of purchase send me your photo via email or U.S. Mail (I'll return the photo to you), and the text you would like to have engraved.

If you are emailing your photo, send it as a jpeg with a dpi of 300 or better. Basically close up photos that are clear and sharp will engrave with the best results. Keep this in mind when you select your photo.

The 8x10 plaque is made from quality alder wood. The front has a smooth finished surface with nicely shaped routed edges. Behind the plaque are a holes for mounting on a wall. This is a truly unique and a highly personalized item that any person will love to receive as a gift. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.
