Rectangle Hard Maple Display Plaque with Natural engraving

Each plaque starts as premium ¼″-thick hard maple board, cut into precise rectangles. Every edge is milled to a 0.125″, 45° chamfer for a subtle bevel that catches the light and feels smooth to the touch. You upload your design (text, logo, or QR code—all work flawlessly) or choose from our clipart/fonts gallery, and we’ll laser-etch it at 300 lines per inch for photo-quality detail. Instead of filling the recessed engraving with paint, we leave those areas in their natural laser-burned color—a rich, slightly charred brown set against the maple’s light cream tones. Finally, a silky satin clear coat highlights the wood grain while protecting against scratches and UV fade. Standard sizes range from 1.5″ × 3″ up to 6.5″ × 12″, and we’re happy to accommodate any custom dimensions you need. Perfect for branded signage, awards, home décor, or that clever QR code linking guests to your playlist—no frame required.
