How Do You Engrave A Cedar Chest?
An engraved cedar chest is a family heirloom that will last many lifetimes. Standard wood engraving is possible, but advances in technology make laser engraving the way to go. Laser engraving makes designs that are clear, precise and permanent. These can be done on the wood directly or on some type of metal plate. Choose the type of wood you want your cedar chest to be made out of. A cedar chest need only have a cedar lining to give off the beautiful cedar aroma and provide protection. Pick a name or design to be engraved. Many cedar chest companies offer engraving as a part of ordering options. Make your own design for engraving. This makes the entire process more personal to your family. Decide if you want the design or name engraved right onto the wood or onto a metal plate. Custom cedar chest builders may give you this option. Cedar chest companies will probably only offer an engraved metal plate. Purchase laser engraving equipment from a reliable dealer if you are the craftsman. H
