See what's possible
A little inspiration from the things I’ve made along the way.
From meaningful keepsakes and personalized gifts to home pieces, jewelry, business projects, and a few things that don't fit neatly into any category—every piece started somewhere. Maybe yours starts here.

01
The I Do Crew
The big day may belong to the couple, but there’s usually a pretty great crew standing beside them.
These wedding-party can coolers were personalized with individually laser-engraved, laser-safe patches for the Bride, Groom, Bridesmaid, and Best Man, then securely heat-pressed onto each one for a custom finish made especially for the celebration.
From Maid of Honor and Groomsmen to parents, friends, and whatever titles your favorite people have earned, the same idea can be customized to fit the whole crew.
Because the people helping you say “I do” deserve a little something with their name—or title—on it, too.

02
Make It Yours
Everything worth celebrating deserves a personal touch.
These custom laser-engraved cork coasters can be designed for weddings, baby showers, corporate events, parties, save the dates, favors, and so much more. Names, dates, business logos, meaningful messages, or a design that ties the whole occasion together turn an everyday item into something personal.
From wedding favors and anniversary celebrations to company gatherings, client gifts, birthdays, and family reunions, each design can be tailored to the people and purpose behind it.
A little place to set your drink. A little reminder of something worth celebrating.

Better Together, Custom Signage
Some of my favorite things to create aren't meant to stand alone—they're meant to become part of something bigger.
I love creating custom signage for my longtime friend Jamie and Float Party Co., then seeing those pieces become part of the beautiful celebrations she creates for her clients.
From names and milestone birthdays to the sweetest little Oh Baby, each piece shown here was created by Forged Grace and incorporated into Float Party Co.'s balloon installations, backdrops, and event styling.
Different hands. Different talents. One pretty incredible finished picture.

04
The Gift Was the Experience
Sometimes the best present under the tree isn't really a thing at all.
Created as a Christmas surprise for our boys’ very first concert, this oversized wooden ticket turned the big reveal into part of the memory. I designed and laser engraved it with all the details of the upcoming show, giving them something exciting to unwrap Christmas morning—and something they could keep long after the last song.
The same idea can be customized for concerts, sporting events, trips, shows, amusement parks, or just about any experience worth making a big deal about.
Because sometimes the best gifts aren't things we keep—they're memories we get to make together.

05
Building Bright Futures
Sometimes all it takes is a name and a few favorite things to create something personal.
Made as a surprise for a Secret Santa event, this custom teacher sign began with her name and a list of likes. Those clues became the inspiration for the entire design, bringing her love of LEGO bricks and the color purple together with an apple shape and the message “Building bright futures, one brick at a time.”
Multiple layers of laser-cut wood, a mix of hand-painted details and Eco colors, personalized lettering, and a coordinating stand turned a few shared interests into a thoughtful piece made especially for her.
Because even when the gift giver is a secret, the thought behind the gift should show.

06
Not Your Average Business Card
Some business cards get tossed in a drawer. These were made to be kept.
Designed from the ground up for a local Trunk or Treat Car Show, these black metal cards started with completely custom artwork and layout before each one was individually laser engraved, revealing the striking silver beneath the black finish.
Hundreds were created for the event, turning a traditional business card into something memorable enough to become part of the experience itself. The same concept can be customized with business logos, contact information, QR codes, event details, or original artwork for businesses, organizations, fundraisers, and special events.
Because if you're handing someone your name, you might as well make it hard to forget.

The Beginning of Forever
Some dates deserve a place on the wall.
Created as a wedding gift for Derek and Melissa, this framed wood sign brings their names and wedding date together around an infinity symbol with a heart woven into its design. Warm wood tones and contrasting black details give the piece depth while keeping their story at the center.
Personalized names, meaningful dates, and thoughtful design turn pieces like this into keepsakes for weddings, anniversaries, and the life being built together.
Because the day goes quickly, but the promises made are meant to last.

Put Your Logo to Work
Your logo doesn't have to live only on a business card or screen.
Using my xTool F1, business and organization logos can be precisely laser engraved onto laser-safe patch material, capturing fine lettering and details before each finished patch is heat pressed onto a compatible flat surface.
From bags and suitable hats to can coolers, work gear, event pieces, and branded gifts, patches can be created in small quantities or larger batches—turning your logo into something customers, employees, or supporters can actually use, wear, and take with them.
Because good branding shouldn't just be seen. It should get out there and do some work.

Stars, Stripes & Handmade
Classic red, white, and blue—with a little Forged Grace personality.
Created from layers of laser-cut wood, this patriotic piece combines hand-finished red, white, and blue details with natural wood grain, dimensional stripes, and star cutouts for plenty of texture and character.
Originally created for a local craft event, it quickly became a customer favorite and a reminder that even the classics can feel a little different when they're made by hand.
A little patriotic. A lot handmade. And definitely not your average flag.

Family Names, Made to Last
Some of the best gifts become part of everyday life.
These wood boards were made personal through custom laser engraving, featuring family names, established dates, and botanical details designed around the natural character of the wood.
Created for weddings, anniversaries, new homes, and the families being built within them, each board turns a name and date into something made to become part of everyday life.
One name. One date. And a whole lot of life still to come.

A Little Moo & a Lot of Personality
Some pieces have personality before you even add the name.
This playful Highland cow sign was created with layers of laser-cut wood, individually hand-finished details, and plenty of dimension. Rose-gold acrylic lettering adds an unexpected touch of shine against the warm wood, while the tiny flower and layered features give this little cow a character all her own.
It’s a fun example of what happens when wood, acrylic, color, and a personal detail all come together in one completely unique piece.
Because sometimes the perfect finishing touch is a little rose gold—and a really cute cow.

A Little Recognition Goes a Long Way
Sometimes the smallest pieces get to celebrate some pretty big wins.
These custom wood magnets were created for a local school transportation department to recognize its Safe Drivers of the Month. Each one was laser cut and engraved with a custom school bus design, location details, and individual month—turning a simple recognition award into something made specifically for the people earning it.
From schools and teams to businesses, organizations, employee appreciation, events, and recognition programs, pieces like these can be designed around the people and moments worth celebrating.
Because a job well done deserves more than a generic “good job.”

13
Wooden Bookmarks
A good book deserves a better placeholder than an old receipt.
Laser cut and engraved from wood, these bookmarks can carry everything from meaningful Scripture and favorite quotes to names, sayings, and designs made just for the person holding the book.
Finished with coordinating tassels and beads, they’re simple, useful, and just personal enough to make opening a book feel a little more special.
Because dog-earing the page was never the only option.

Hey, Boo | Ooh Hello, Fall | Seasonal Wood Décor
Seasonal décor should be allowed to have a little personality.
From cheerful pumpkins and warm fall colors to a few friendly little boos, these layered wood signs were individually cut, painted, layered, and assembled with dimensional details and plenty of personality.
One welcomes cooler days and changing leaves. The other apparently welcomed the boos.
A little cozy. A little spooky. A whole lot of handmade personality.

Joy in the Message
Some reminders of faith can speak to your heart and make you smile.

Stockings With Their Names on Them
Some of the sweetest Christmas traditions are made up of the smallest details.
These wooden stocking tags were custom engraved with each family member’s name, then finished by hand with coordinating beads, string, and ribbon to give every stocking its own personal touch.
Simple enough to use year after year, but personal enough to become part of the tradition, they’re a little reminder that Christmas at home is really about the people whose stockings are hanging there.
Because Santa shouldn’t be the only one who knows whose is whose.

Worth Melting For
When someone really loves snowmen, you don't just make them a snowman. You give him a whole personality.
Created especially for someone with a lifelong love of all things Frosty, every wood element was individually laser cut, hand-painted, layered, and assembled in the Forged Grace studio.

It started with something she loved and became a piece made especially for her—which is exactly why custom creations can mean so much.
Proof that the best gifts start with knowing what makes someone smile.

This one-of-a-kind piece was created from a detailed engraving of the business itself, then personalized with the business name, established year, and owner's name to turn a familiar place into a lasting keepsake.
Made to celebrate not just the building, but everything that happened within its walls—and the person who made it possible.
Because building something of your own is always worth remembering.

More Than a Title
Some gifts celebrate what someone does. The best ones celebrate who they are.

More than simple décor, it was made as a lasting tribute to the service, sacrifice, and commitment behind the title of Veteran.

This ready-made wood piece was brought into the Forged Grace studio and transformed through custom laser engraving, featuring a family name, established date, and delicate botanical details for a simple, timeless finish.
Not every custom creation has to begin as a blank sheet of wood. Sometimes it's about seeing the possibilities in something that already exists and adding the names, dates, words, or details that give it meaning.
Something familiar, made unmistakably yours.

When someone loves gingerbread, the obvious answer is to turn the whole family into one.
This one-of-a-kind Christmas display was created to represent an entire family in the sweetest way.

Rattan Trees

More Than Meets the Spine
It looks like a wooden book—but there's a little engineering hiding in that spine.
Created entirely from laser-cut wood, this keepsake box uses a precision-cut living hinge that allows solid wood to flex and curve around the spine. Engraved butterfly details and a coordinating heart closure finish the design.
It’s one of my favorite examples of how laser work can go far beyond flat signs and simple engraving.
Because sometimes the coolest part of a piece is figuring out how to make wood do something it really shouldn't be able to do.

Her Garden Grows
Some gardens are grown with sunshine and rain. This one was grown with love.

Crafted from beautiful wood and finished with a coordinating display stand, no two family gardens will ever look quite the same—because no two families do.
A garden filled with the names she loves most.

Cocoa With Character
Because apparently even the hot cocoa bar deserves to dress up for the party.
Created as the centerpiece for a hot cocoa station at an Ugly Sweater Christmas Party, this dimensional wood sign was built from laser-cut layers and finished by hand with playful details designed to match the theme.
It’s a fun example of how custom pieces can go beyond everyday décor and become part of the celebration itself—whether it’s a Christmas party, special event, or one of those traditions everyone looks forward to each year.
Because if the sweaters are going all out, the cocoa bar might as well join them.

Through It All
Some friendships become part of the story of who we are.
