Hi
I am commissioned to make four platters in different woods 14" across. I need the platters engraved with text, a logo and possibly a picture in the 11" center part of the platter.
I would guess that dark woods don't display well so I was thinking maple, ash, butternut and cherry. Though I am most definitely open to suggestions.
Is laser engraving done before, during or after a finish is applied?
What sort of time should I plan for engraving?
What are the price points. I would guess that part of the price is based on burn time which would be directly related to the complexity of the engraving.
Just for a ball park figure lets say the engraving filled the 11" inner portion of the platter like the attached picture. What price range should I plan for?
Thanks
