Engraving on Wood

Short answer

Wood engraving at Craftarea in Tbilisi adds logos, names or images to gift boxes, signs and decorative items. The laser darkens the surface, so wood grain, species and finish affect contrast. Share the wood type and artwork; for photographs or fine details, discuss a sample on the chosen material before approving a series.

A pale, even surface usually gives a different contrast from a dark or strongly grained wood. For a box, specify the lid and its orientation. For a photograph, supply the original image rather than a compressed messaging-app preview.

Photographs and logos need different checks on wood

For a logo, check small lettering and fine lines at the final size. For a photograph, choose the main subject and crop; the wood grain changes how shaded areas appear. Wood engraving is not equivalent to colour photo printing. If retaining colour is the goal, discuss the suitability of another method.

What to approve before a series of wooden items

Identify the wood species, surface finish and logo orientation. Review one design on the same type of material for contrast, legibility and the visible face. Natural grain varies between items; a sample helps agree the layout but cannot guarantee an identical grain appearance across the run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a photograph retain its colours on wood?
Engraving changes the surface; it is not colour printing. Wood species, grain and coating affect the result. Check contrast and detail on a sample of the same material; discuss another method if a colour image is required.
