Laser Etching & Router Cutting

As part of their all-new release, Nautique wanted 50 exclusive one-of-kind gift boxes to be designed and manufactured. Having made many products in the past for the company, the team once again contacted us to create something bespoke with the same action sports flare we have emulated for them in the past.

Each box was hand crafted by our joinery team from solid American Walnut timber we sourced from our local timber yards and milled down to profile. There is always something special about personally selecting the perfect timber for the job and watching it be transformed through out the process. Our favourite part of these boxes is the subtle continuous timber grain that wraps around the box, keeping the grain continuous instead of using four different parts of timber allows for a flawless finish.

The internal sections of the box were custom cut and tested to achieve the perfect snug fit for the thermos, portable charger, gift cards and lapel pins. This piece was then finished off with a laser cut and printed lid to complete the signature Nautique style. As we design and manufacture our products in house, there is always a great sense of accomplishment with the team when we complete our projects, and this one was definitely one for the books.

Last year we had the privilege of creating some more custom products for the Australian Defence Force School of Intelligence. To be placed in their mess hall, the team had requested we etch the history of the school onto an existing tabletop, as it was the only part of the Canungra base that wasn’t sporting their history within the mess hall. The mess hall was lined with several long tables that had been around for decades so it was a more unique way to engage people than just having old photos on the wall.

Using a pine timber to match the existing tables, the very old photos under went a intense trial and error period to find the perfect contrast to etch the images. The detailed artwork was etched into the top in one session over several hours so everything needed to be perfect. The piece was then treated with a high gloss glass coat to ensure resistance to damage throughout its lifetime. We also took care of refinishing the table frame with a new paint job to bring it back to life.

The feedback from the School of Intelligence was overwhelming as everyone was thrilled with the final outcome. Did you know we create custom furniture pieces? We can create pieces for events & marketing as well as more permanent pieces. If you have a project in mind, get in contact today!
