Handcrafted timber, engraved with your story
At East Wood Design, we create bespoke, laser-engraved timber pieces that make lasting impressions — for clients, colleagues, staff milestones, or special occasions. Every board is handcrafted from solid timber in our Mangawhai workshop, then engraved with your branding, logo, or personal message.
Whether you need one piece for a retirement gift or a batch of ten for client giveaways, we handcraft and finish every piece, and coordinate the engraving through our trusted engraving partner, so you can hand over something people actually keep.
Why timber gifts work for business
A branded pen gets lost. A printed card gets binned. A solid timber board with a client's name burned into the grain sits on their kitchen bench for years — and every time they use it, they think of who gave it to them.
We recently made a run of 10 personalised cherry boards for Bayleys Real Estate, Mangawhai, Each board carries the same clean branding — agent names, the Bayleys logo, and "Mangawhai" — engraved into the timber, with the wording able to be adjusted per client if needed.
Who this is for
- Real estate agents — settlement gifts for clients, branded with your name and agency
- Businesses & corporates — client gifts, staff milestones, retirement or long-service awards
