What happens after you order

  1. 01

    A person reviews every photo.

    If it needs work, we'll tell you before we cut, and on request we can work to improve it. Signature and Heirloom photos are enhanced by hand.

  2. 02

    We put it on hardwood and cut it.

    Heat and pressure set your photograph into the wood surface. Then it is laser-cut in Flippin, Arkansas, in the cut you chose.

  3. 03

    It ships within two weeks of approval.

    The two weeks start once your photo is approved, or your design brief for Heirloom. Your message card goes in the box. Shipping in the U.S. is free.

You must own the rights to the photo or have written permission to reproduce it. Custom orders can't be returned once production begins, which is why we confirm before we cut.

Will my photo work?

Most original phone and camera photos do. If yours needs help, we tell you before anything is cut.

Usually ready as is

Original camera or phone files with a clear main subject, recognizable faces, and room around important details.

  • Sharp main subject
  • Original full-size file, not a screenshot
  • Important details away from the edges
Often workable with help

Older scans, mixed lighting, unusual crops, and intentional motion can still make meaningful puzzles. Motion is fine when the main subject stays clear.

  • Intentional motion around a sharp subject
  • Older printed photographs or scans
  • Images that need crop or exposure help
When we'll ask for a better file

We contact you when the person, pet, or detail the gift depends on can't reproduce clearly at the size you chose.

  • Main subject out of focus
  • Tiny or heavily compressed copy
  • Watermark, or no permission to reproduce it

Photo ideas by occasion: weddings, pets, vacations, or all gift ideas.

The moment the photograph becomes something you can hold.

Before the first piece is cut, we lift the transfer paper and see your photograph on hardwood for the first time. It is one of the best moments in the workshop, and the first test of whether the gift feels right.
