I start by finding top quality products; wood, cutting boards, glassware and bakeware items that will last for many many years. In creating these beautiful products, 95% of them are laser engraved. Laser engraving is permanent and should last for a very long time with proper care. For the etched glassware items, I sandblast these by hand leaving a beautiful design that will last a lifetime. All etchings are done on the outside of the dishes as to make them more food safe. Each item starts with a brand new piece, never used, and done by me personally from start to finish.
