Kitchen & Bar Engraving Styles

Kitchen and Bar collects the motifs people actually engrave on cutting boards, charcuterie boards, coasters, tumblers, flasks and growlers, so a housewarming, wedding, groomsman or shop-counter piece has a shelf of its own. Butcher Cut Chart draws one complete steer divided into its primal cuts with the cut fields left blank for your own lettering pass. Coffee Branch and Bean and Hop Bine and Cone are continuous vines built for a tumbler wrap, with solid black beans or layered hop cones giving the dark accents a laser reads well. Culinary Herb and Wheat, Vine and Grape and Vintage Whiskey Label round out the board and bar sides of the shelf. Every style keeps its motifs complete inside your shape and adds no writing of its own; request lettering separately when a piece needs a name or date. Check the generated preview for small detail before you burn a finished board or cup.

Materials these styles are tuned for: cutting-boards, leather, metal, slate, tumblers, wood.

Using these styles

Open the Fabricator, load the outline of the part you are engraving, and choose a style from this family. The pattern is generated to fill your outline rather than pasted over it, so the result fits the part instead of being cropped to it. Run a test on matching scrap before committing a production piece — density that reads perfectly on coated metal can close up on open-grain wood, and the fix is usually speed or an extra pass rather than more power.
