Incorporating a custom laser-cut bronze inlay into a copper farmhouse sink apron is a sophisticated way to enhance your kitchen's aesthetic. This technique combines the warm tones of copper with the distinct elegance of bronze, resulting in a unique and personalized centerpiece.


Design and Customization: The process begins with selecting a design for the bronze inlay. This could range from intricate patterns to personalized motifs or scenes that reflect your style. You can even create your own artwork or have the name of your ranch with a logo inlaid. There are unlimited options. We are using very advanced Fiber Laser technology, allowing for precise detailing and ensuring the design is accurately cut from the bronze (in this case). Precision laser cutting ensures an impeccable fit of the inlay into the apron, creating a harmonious and luxurious appearance. 

Material Selection: Choosing high-quality materials is crucial. In this case, pure copper provides a warm character to the sink. The bronze inlay complements the copper to create a harmonious, bold look. You may also consider brass as well. We are open to just about any combination. We love new ideas!

Fabrication Process: The fabrication involves several steps:

Design Approval: We will render a mockup of your design for your review and approval. The rendering to the left is the image we created and sent to our client for approval. 

Laser cutting: We will be using our Fiber Laser to cut the inlay as well as the material that it will be inlaid into. 

Inlay Integration: We will carefully fit and secure the bronze inlay into the copper apron front, ensuring seamless integration.

Finishing Touches: Apply appropriate finishes to both metals, then send a photo for your approval. Once approved, we apply multiple layers of our very tough clear coat and then hand rub the finish to a smooth furniture finish. You have the option for a glossy finish or a matte finish.
