The person behind the laser.
TN Laser Crafts is a one-person shop — every piece personally selected, engraved, and finished by hand, start to finish.
I'm a U.S. Navy submarine veteran and a disabled veteran, running a laser engraving business out of my home workshop here in Clinton, Tennessee. There's no outsourcing — every piece of artwork is personally selected by me, every engraving is run by me, and I personally check every item before it ships.
That's what "every piece is burned in, not printed on" actually means: the design is physically etched into the material itself — slate, cork, stainless steel, aluminum, wood — not a sticker or a print laid on top. It's permanent, and it's mine from selection to final polish.

Today, alongside the shop, I'm a published author, an Honorary Tennessee Colonel Aide de Camp, and I'm currently working on becoming a YouTube creator.
Custom requests are always welcome. Names, dates, photos, a specific idea you have in your head — if you can describe it, I can probably engrave it.

A little bit of everything
TN Laser Crafts covers a lot of ground: personalized flasks and dog tags, slate and cork coasters, custom pet portraits, patriotic and military tribute pieces, western and motorcycle designs, and — most recently — a growing Haunted Collection of gothic and spooky artwork.
