Personalisation
A mark that lives
in the wood.
A name, a date, a roastery logo, a line of Arabic. Laser-cut into the timber for EGP 100 on any piece that can take it — which is 27 of the 30 in the catalogue.
How it works
Four steps, one proof- 01
Pick a piece
Almost everything in the catalogue can be engraved. The product page says if a piece cannot — usually because the surface is too curved to cut cleanly.
- 02
Tell us what to cut
Type it in the box when you add to basket: a name, a date, a line of Arabic. For a logo, place the order and reply to the confirmation with an SVG or a high-resolution PNG.
- 03
We proof it
For anything beyond a short name we send a photograph of the layout on the actual piece before cutting. Nothing is engraved until you say yes.
- 04
Cut and finish
Engraving happens after oiling, so the finish cannot blur the edges of the cut. The engraved area is re-oiled by hand afterwards.
Two scripts, one machine
Arabic needs a lighter touch than Latin.
Engraving is the most requested thing we do and the easiest to do badly. Cut too deep and the wood chars; too shallow and it disappears under oil within a year.
The connecting strokes in Arabic are thin, and at the power that suits English lettering they burn wide and the word closes up. We run Arabic slower and cooler — which is why we ask for a proof.

Cafés and hotels
Bulk engraving is priced per order, not per piece, and gets cheaper quickly past about twenty units. Send the logo and the quantity.
What we need for a logo
An SVG, or a PNG at least 2,000px wide on a plain background. We can redraw a bad file, but it costs time.
One honest caveat
An engraved piece cannot be returned unless it arrives faulty. It is not something we can resell.
