I’m Kevin Matthews. From my small woodshop in Langford, BC, I’ve been fortunate to build over 800 personalized boards for families, cottagers, and gift-givers across North America, Europe, and Australia—turning favorite lakes, hometown street grids, and family crests into playable keepsakes.

High-resolution downtown street grids, bridges, and harbors burned in crisp detail.
Official heraldic coat of arms sourcing included, or upload your own family crest or logo.
Two-tone walnut & natural birch sacred lotus petals with custom family track lettering.
Intricate dragon art, Fibonacci spirals, nautical compasses, sports teams & portraits.
Built one at a time in Langford, BC—grateful to every family and gift-giver who has trusted my shop with their milestones.
Maintained a 5-star average by sharing digital mock-ups before cutting and sweating the small details on every personalized layout.
Tracked, foam-cushioned shipping from Vancouver Island across Canada, the United States, the UK, Europe, and Australia.
"Seller was fabulous to work with. He accommodated all of my customization requests, and provided mock-ups to make sure I was happy with the design. The final product is beautiful and exactly as shown on the mock-up."
"Kevin went above and beyond to map our exact cottage bay and even engraved a personal note on the spinning cover underneath. It arrived packed safely and became the centerpiece of our family tournament."

Handcrafted in Langford, British Columbia since 2020. Every personalized board includes a digital mock-up proof before the laser fires and our signature underside inscription: "Made with love and laserbeams."
Whether you’re celebrating a cottage on the lake, a hometown street corner, a wedding, or a retirement, you don’t have to guess how the engraving will look. Tell me the names, coordinates, or artwork you have in mind, and I’ll send a scaled digital layout to review before cutting a single piece of Baltic birch.
