Live edge Hard Maple Display Plaque with Natural engraving

Every plaque is cut from premium ¼″-thick hard maple with straight sides and matching laser-cut “live” edges on each end. Upload your design file (text, logo, or QR code—all work great), and we’ll laser-etch it at 300 lines per inch for photo-quality detail. Instead of filling the recess with paint, we leave the engraved areas in their natural laser-burned color—a rich, slightly charred brown that contrasts beautifully against the light maple. A silky satin clear coat highlights the wood’s subtle grain and protects the surface from scratches and UV fade. Standard sizes range from 1.5″×3″ up to 6.5″×12″, and custom dimensions are always welcome. Perfect for branded signage, awards, home décor, or that clever QR code linking guests straight to your playlist—no frame required.
