Your name
has a story.
We look up what a name means, write it an original poem — woven with the themes you choose — and laser-engrave both into Cherry or Sapele wood, beside your favorite photograph. A keepsake. Not a frame.

Three steps. One heirloom.

We look it up & write it
We pull the name's verified meaning, then draft an original 8-line poem inspired by it and your themes — live, in front of you.
03
Bind it to a frame
When the meaning and poem feel right, we laser-engrave them into Cherry or Sapele wood, alongside a slot for a 4×6 photo.

The craft
Made by hand.
Burned, not printed.
Each frame is Cherry or Sapele wood, cut on a laser the size of a small piano. The text is burned through the surface, never inked — and the dimensional script is cut deep enough to catch the light from every angle. It will outlive the photograph it holds.
- Format
- 5″ × 7″ magnetic, 4×6 photo
- Material
- Cherry or Sapele wood

- CO₂ laser-engraved, hand-finished

The poem
Original verse.
Every time.
Two stanzas of four lines, written fresh from the name's meaning and the themes you choose. Never a template with a name swapped in.
Refine the verse live — soften a line, push a theme, change the ending. We redraft until it's right.
"The poem made my daughter cry. She said it was the most thoughtful gift she'd ever received."
Every name unique
One name at a time. For two years.
If we haven't done your name yet, we will.
