The photo on the right is the original, in raw form; the one on the left is a professionally laser-engraved version of the original, finely engraved on wood. The etched copy turned out so well that I would consider it more of an art form. than a hobby. And if you didn’t watch out, it could turn into a unique part-time or full-time business for someone?
** Let me explain how this story came about. **
In the featured photo, you’ll find a photograph taken during my regular walk along the local boardwalk in Waterloo Park. The other side of the photo shows a Laser-engraved copy of the same photo nicely engraved on wood. That engraved copy on a rustic-looking wood frame made my original Rembrandt pop even stronger than it was before.
As you read on, this may read like an advertisement of sorts, but in reality, I was impressed by how this professionally looking copy etched in wood would have such a drastic positive impact on my photo.
This ultimately shows that this laser-engraving hobby could turn into a viable business.
This story starts this way.
The summer always brings out the fun and excitement for all sun worshippers compared to the gray skies and cold of winter days.
Holidayers from the East Coast go to the West for their couple of weeks of rest & relaxation (R&R) and the West Coasters go to the East. It’s a maze of excited people moving around Canada looking for interesting sites they’ve never seen before.
We answered a phone call from family in St John’s, NB, saying they’re coming our way for a visit. Oh-ya, my family member says in conversation: I have this new laser machine that I’m working with, and if it works out, I’ll turn it into a business. He also said, if you would like a sample of my work, send me a photo, and I’ll surprise you and bring it along.
As I just come back from this new addition to the park, I looked over my photo, and this will do just fine as I sent it along. It’s a photo of a boardwalk leading around the city’s Silver Lake.’
Perfect view of the park from the boardwalk and a nice sunny day.
They finally arrived, and out came this laser-engraving copy of the original photograph on hardwood that you see in the featured photo.
He hand-made the rustic-looking frame that positively added to this piece of art.
So folks, I have to tell ha, not only is this laser-etched photo impressive, it has that personal touch from ‘him to me’ that ultimately made it more special.
However, you can’t take away the end product as being unique and one of a kind. This laser-etched photo is no doubt, has a personal touch attached; however, as a sales vendor at many craft and antique events. I would not be shy in promoting or selling this product.
So why Laser Engraving on Hardwood Beats Other Hobbies, well, you be the judge.
