Thousands of photos on your phone. One of them will stay in oak — for generations.
You upload your photos, mark the faces and things that should stay, and we compose them into one piece. Before you order anything, you see it in wood — rotatable, with movable light.
- Price A personalised solid oak bas-relief — from 200 USD
- What drives the price Size, number of figures and how complex the composition is
- Format A single piece up to 900 × 650 mm, material up to 50 mm
Before we start — two things, plainly.
We ask about budget in the first step so that nobody wastes time. A bas-relief is over a dozen hours of work in solid oak — below that floor it cannot be made well.
What goes into this work — because the machine does only part of it:
- 3D design Every motif gets its own 3D model: we set the scale, proportions and relief depth for the format, then program the toolpaths for the machine.
- Selecting and gluing the oak We pick boards that are knot-free on both faces and glue them into a solid block with non-toxic Titebond glue. A stable joint keeps the wood from warping once the deep pattern is cut out.
- Milling Many hours on the machine: first the roughing pass removes the bulk of the hard oak, then fine cutters slowly bring out the smallest details.
- Hand finishing The stage that gives the piece its character: sanding the recesses, removing loose fibres, and finally oil, wax or lacquer that bring out the grain and the play of light.
