When Riviera approached us for some sample books to be made and sent in time for the Florida boat show, we jumped at the opportunity. So we created these custom-made timber laser etched/leather bound books that turned out great!

These great looking laser etched timber trophies have been constructed for Emmanuel College. With accents of stainless steel and different shades of wood to compliment the main piece of timber. The outcome is a stylish and respectable award to be handed down throughout the years .

We were approached by Hurley to create a custom etched hardwood trophy for the 2014 Nike SB Classics Cup. The main competition set consisted of a huge 1st place trophy and two smaller 2nd & 3rd place trophies. We also created some extra competition trophies for the Best Trick & Highest Air competitions they had going as well. Unfortunately the final main event was cancelled due to rain.
Here’s what Hurley had to say: “The heavens opened and the liquid sunshine poured down at Manly on finals day, which unfortunately meant the cancelation of both the Nike SB Classics Cup Pro final and Masters final. The crew did a great job of transforming the pool – with the addition of hand-laid granite coping and the slide, diving board and ladder on Saturday for the Best Trick competition – but one thing we did not want in the pool was water! So the decision was made to split the Masters prize money equally which meant our crew of legends each pocketed $400. And the points tally from the five heats that had already been run in the Pro division was considered as final.” You can get all the competition points info from here.
Fortunately there was a few good days of weather so here’s a highlight reel of day 8 of the Nike Classics Cup.

We were approached by Hurley to do this years Australian Open of Surfing Trophies. They were quite a detailed and intricate concept to put together, but they turned out great.
The trophy consisted of laser cut Stainless Steel layered and mounted to a high gloss black base. The base had a matt black Hurley logo on the top and a Stainless Steel logo inserted on the bottom of the base.
Congratulations to Adriano de Souza from Brazil who took out Julian Wilson to win the Open Mens comp and Hawaiian Carissa Moore for winning the Open Womens comp.

We were asked to create the annual company awards for Herron Todd White. We sat down with them and came up with some different material and construction options and the final product was an interactive piece made from a timber veneered block with laser etched logos and a 2 pak painted insert. Each colour represents the 4 different areas of the company. We also put together some LED lanterns for a table centrepiece used for the awards night. The final result turned out great.

Potato Press has been getting in to the christmas spirit with a project we have done for the Brisbane Bright Stars Christmas Carols decorations.
We put together 2 large laser cut and illuminated acrylic christmas trees and a large illuminated star which hung from the marquee. Along with that we did some large laser cut free standing three wise men, a bunch of small hanging laser cut stars and a large banner spanning the face of the marquee.
Everything turned out fantastic and looks great all set up. Drop down to the carols if you are in the Brisbane area!

We recently teamed up with the guys at Mighty Mighty Cue & Brew to do some menus and wall art pieces for the brand new American BBQ and Smokehouse Restaurant that is opening in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. The menus are made out of American Walnut with 3 different colour edging to represent the Drinks, Food and Desert menus. The large playing card wall hangings are also made from Walnut and feature laser etched characters over the top of painted graphics. The whole project was great fun to put together. If you are in Brisbane, make sure you swing by Mighty Mighty to check it all out and hook in to some ribs and beer while you are there!
