About Northgrain

Northgrain is [NAMES]. We're a few friends with a shop in [TOWN], Maryland, and a laser. We started with the EDC tray because it's what we wanted on our own dressers. Everything is cut, engraved, and finished by us, in small batches.

  • Solid hardwood only. No veneer, no MDF.
  • A proof before we cut, every time.
  • If something's wrong with your piece when it arrives, we make it right.

Questions

Can you engrave my logo or a unit crest?

Yes. Send a PNG, SVG, or a clear photo of it. We clean it up for the laser and show you a proof before we cut anything.

How long does it take?

7 to 10 business days after you approve the proof, plus shipping. If you're up against a date, say so when you order.

Which wood should I pick?

Walnut engraves dark and rich. Maple is light, so the engraving stands out most. Cherry darkens with age. White oak has the boldest grain. When in doubt, walnut.

Do you do group or bulk orders?

Yes. Groomsmen sets, a whole crew or department, company gifts. Send the count and the deadline and we'll quote it.

How do I pay?

After you approve the proof we send an invoice. Nothing is charged until then.

Trays for the whole crew, a sign for the shop, a plaque for a retirement, a logo on something we haven't thought of yet. Send the idea and we'll come back with a price and a proof.
