Send us your happy place. The lake you grew up on, the cabin you drive four hours to reach, the stretch of coast you keep going back to, the porch of the house you just bought. We engrave it into natural slate and it stops being a photo on your phone.
The dock scene shown here is one we did from a customer's photo — that's the whole idea. Yours will be your own.
How It Works
- Order the size you want
- Send us your photo in the personalization box, or message it to us after you order
- We convert it for engraving and send you a proof
- You approve it, then we engrave and ship
What Works Best
- Landscapes, water, docks, cabins, barns, coastlines, mountains, skylines
- Houses and buildings — clean lines engrave beautifully
- Boats, and anything with strong shapes against open sky
- Good light and reasonable focus; a phone photo is fine
- Not sure if yours will work? Message us first and we'll tell you honestly before you pay
Why Slate
- Engraved stone holds fine detail — closer to a pencil drawing than a wood burn
- Natural hand-chipped edges, left exactly as the stone broke
- Matte grey that reads as permanent, not printed
- Won't fade — the image is cut into the stone, not applied to it
Add Words
Lake names, coordinates, established dates, a family name, a line that means something. Names, dates, quotes, layout preferences — whatever you need. We'll send a proof before we make it.
Production and Shipping
Made to order in our small Maryland shop. We'll send your proof within 1-2 business days of receiving your photo, and ship within 1-2 business days of your approval. Slate ships padded — it's stone, and we pack it that way.
