I'm making a small box to give to my girlfriend on her birthday and wanted to have her name either engraved or burned onto the top. The lettering would be about 1 X 3 inches. If anyone could do this please let me know how much it would cost. thanks

You can buy a wood burning kit at Walmart. Practice on some scrap and do it yourself. I'm sure she would appreciate it more. Mike in Mich.

Thanks for the replies, I tried doing it with a wood burner on some scrap but wasn't happy with how it looked. I think I'll just leave it as is without the name.

Most trophy shops have CNC type lazers possibly they can do the engraving for you. Give them a call to see what they have available.
