Flint's Woodshop Portraits, family crests, pet likenesses and hand-drawn artwork, burned into solid hardwood and finished steel by Daniel Flint in Macomb County. Send the photo you already have — we redraw it for the grain and show you a proof before the laser ever fires.
A phone photo is usually enough. Portraits, pets, crests, signatures, handwriting, logos — if you can see it, it can generally be engraved. We will tell you honestly if an image is too soft to hold detail before you spend anything.
Every image is redrawn and tuned by hand for the species it is going into — walnut takes contrast differently than maple. You approve a proof first. Nothing is engraved off an unapproved file, because engraving cannot be undone.
Cut on the laser, then hand-finished so the burn is sealed and the grain still reads as wood. Most engraving work turns around in one to two weeks. Small pieces ship nationwide; local pickup is available in metro Detroit.
Engraving is quoted per job, not off a price list, because the work is in the art rather than the burn. A name or a set of dates is a few minutes of laser time. A photo-realistic portrait is hours of redrawing before the machine is switched on — adjusting contrast curves so a face still reads as a face once it is soot on hardwood. Send the image and the item you want it on, and you will get a real number back, with no obligation. If you are buying an urn from Laser Engraved Urns, the engraving is already included in the price of the urn.
A full family crest reproduced in hardwood — fine heraldic linework holds its edges because the art was redrawn for the grain before it was cut.
Engraving is not limited to wood. This Buck 110 carries detail fine enough to read at arm's length on a surface barely wider than a thumb.
A photo-realistic portrait engraved into a maple urn lid. Maple's pale, even grain is what lets a face keep its tonal range.
Hand-drawn artwork engraved to order. Supply a sketch, a logo or a piece of handwriting and it can be carried into hardwood.
Cremation urns and keepsake boxes, end-grain cutting and charcuterie boards, knives and steel tools, plaques and memorial pieces, signs, coasters, and gifts you supply yourself. If you already own the item and simply want it engraved, that is welcome — bring it in or ship it, and it goes on the bench alongside everything else. Memorial and cremation urn engraving is handled through our sister brand, Laser Engraved Urns.

The look on my sister-in-law’s face said it all! When she opened her one of a kind gift, and saw her cherished puppy’s image engraved on the ornament, she was delighted. The likeness was exact. The quality of workmanship definitely exceeded expectations. I absolutely recommend Flint’s Workshop.
I received this ornament with my cat’s likeness on it. It turned out great. I was made from a picture which I took. I think Herman (the cat) likes it too.
Dan did a wonderful job engraving my finances Buck 110 for Christmas this year. The details were phenomenal (super impressive for the scale too!). Dan was also incredibly friendly and professional throughout the entire process. Very thankful for the overall fantastic experience.
The engraving on this piece is absolutely stunning! The intricate details showcase the time and care that went into crafting it, and it adds such a personal and meaningful touch.
