Laser-engraved bamboo cutting boards

Every line is cut with light. Every surface finished by hand.

After about 90 minutes in the large format laser, the last three steps to finish our laser-engraved decorative bamboo cutting boards include:

1. SANDING - to remove surface ash and debris built up from the laser process and finish the smooth, sharp, decorative surface.

2. AIR - a few blasts of air at 100 PSI to clean sawdust and ash from the deeply engraved grooves and surface.

3. ENGRAVING - flip it over to engrave the back, just like everything we make, right here IN THE USA.
