I've screwed around with making a few cutting boards before, but I've never really done anything with them.

Figured it was time to change that.

This one started as a solid chunk of cherry and ended up roughly 18" × 9" × 3/4", shaped, sanded and finished right here in the shop.

Then came the part I almost overthought.

I could have covered the entire thing with engraving, but that would've been a mistake. The grain is the artwork.

So I kept it simple — a small **Great Lakes Collection** mark tucked into the corner and let the cherry do the rest.

This one is coming with me this weekend.

And I have a feeling there are going to be a few more.

**The Great Lakes Collection.**

What should we make next?

I think we're finally getting the hang of this glass engraving thing.
It's taken a lot of testing, ruined glass, new equipment, new fixtures, and more than a few “well, that didn't work” moments.
But we're getting there.
Bottles. Decanters. Drinkware. Detailed logos. Photographs. Awards. One-offs. Production runs.
And we're still pushing to see what else we can do.
The best part about adding another capability at CMC isn't making more of the same stuff.
It's being able to say “Yeah, we can probably do that” to something we couldn't do six months ago.
Have a project involving glass that you've been wondering if anyone can make?
Send it to CMC Laser & Gifts. We like the weird ones.

This is why we don't just call them maps.

Burt Lake — Cheboygan County, Michigan.

Multiple depth layers. Detailed surrounding roads. Bathymetric contours. Individually finished layers. Built from the ground up right here at CMC Laser & Gifts.

A map can show you where a lake is.

We'd rather make it something worth putting on the wall.

Have a lake that means something to you? Send us the name.

Holiday orders are starting now.

When your coaster needs an engineering drawing. 😂
We decided a normal set of slate coasters wasn't quite enough, so we turned a simple idea into a full-on technical drawing.
CMC Beverage Retention Device — DWG 001
Precision laser engraved on natural slate, complete with dimensions, exploded view, operating instructions and just enough unnecessary engineering to make us happy.
Because sometimes the fun part of custom work is taking a ridiculous idea way too seriously.
Have an idea that probably doesn't need an engineering drawing?
We should probably make one anyway.

Last Monday, this little prototype went to a township meeting.
We're working on a much larger Mill Creek watershed map that will eventually hang in Lima Township Hall.
Before the final piece was built, we made this small proof-of-concept so the township trustees could see the idea in person—not just look at a drawing on a screen.
It shows the watershed, roads, lakes and the network of creeks that run through the area.
This version was built to communicate the idea. The real map is going to be on an entirely different level.
Now that the project is moving forward, we'll be documenting the full-size build here from start to finish.

New design drop #2. 🇺🇸
Told you there were more coming.
This one took a little more work, but I think it was worth it.
Which one are you picking so far — Michigan or We the People?

New design drop. 👀
Michigan. Great Lakes. Pines. And a little attitude.
This is the first of several new flag designs I've been working on, with more coming over the next few days.
What should the next Michigan design have on it?
