Engraved Shutters

Engraved Shutters
This is an item that I originally looked for, for my own home up north several years ago. I wanted something with an outdoor theme, but the only thing I could find was a shutter with a cut out in it which allowed the siding to show through creating the image. It wasn’t really what I was looking for and I never did find any one that was doing what I wanted. My first idea with the CNC machine was to carve the image, however this takes quite a bit of machine time which drives the cost up and the image was not that visible from a distance.  So I decided to engrave them which allows for a more visible image when highlighted and can be sold at a price competitive to wood shutters without the engravings. Although they may not be applicable for every home in America, we believe it works in the right setting. These shutters are made in a board and batten style which lends itself to cottages or cabins.
