Our most recent CNC cutting projects
Check out our latest projects completed for clients in Bay of Plenty and Waikato! Every journey begins with a simple idea, which we transform into a detailed digital drawing. By combining cutting-edge technologies like CNC machines and laser cutters with skilled manual craftsmanship, we turn almost any concept into a tangible product.

Solid oak and upholstered headboard
This headboard was commissioned by our client for their main bedroom to their exact specifications.
The headboard stretches across a king-size base and is affixed to the base with the provided struts. The fixation is hidden and allows for the headboard and bedbase to be place right up against the wall.
Four individually upholstered cushions allow for a comfortable place to rest your head or sit up against while in bed. These are also designed to be removable if cushions are to be cleaned.
The headboard is primary constructed out of locally sourced white oak.
Custom entrance hall cabinet
This solid oak and walnut has been cut with CNC router. The leaves are individually drawn and then CNC cut to represent fallen leaves on the ground during autumn. Doors are on soft-close hinges and press-to-open locks.
The main structure of the cabinet is out of solid oak, locally and sustainably sourced. No screws were used during the construction of the cabinet and purely held together by age-old craftsmen techniques.
The walnut legs were cut on CNC prior to glue-up and finishing, to represent the branches of a tree.
Maori Poutama panels
Two full-sized photography backdrops in a poutama pattern filled with over 700 crosses were made to order for our client.
Working on the Maori-inspired art was surely a fun project and we pushed the CNC router to its limits. 10 hours of continuous cutting and routing time, 5 for each panel surely gave the router a run for its money.
Here we have marine-grade ply for outstanding weather resistance coated in marine-grade varnish to improve the lifespan of this unique piece. The structures are reinforced with a hidden frame for a ‘frameless’ effect.
Matariki houses
A large commission of 10+ individual Wharenui inspired communal houses to celebrate Matariki. Each house standing roughly a meter tall with 9 openings to allow for light to shine through from behind. These 9 light sources represent the 9 stars, Ururangi, Waipuna-ā-rangi, Waitā, Waitī, Matariki, Tupu-ā-rangi and Tupu-ā-nuku, Hiwa-i-te-rangi, and Pōhutukawa.
A wharenui ([ˈɸaɾɛnʉ. i]; literally “large house”) is a communal house of the Māori people of New Zealand, generally situated as the focal point of a marae.
Prototypes of car parts
It is possible to produce simple or single-sided automotive parts using CNC machine, which is highly precise for shaping and cutting various materials.
Solid White Oak wall clock
This large scale 500mm diameter wooden wall clock was made on request for our client’s home.
The clock is manufactured out of locally and sustainably sourced white oak with a tree motiv engraved. The clock is then stained to enhance the tree and make it stand out from the face. The mahogany and brass clock arms then finishes off the face of the clock.
Foam insert
Need to protect your valuables? Do you have some sensitive equipment that needs extra padding? With our precision laser cutter, we can provide your belongings with a safe place to rest.
Precision cut openings for even the most complex of equipment provide a stable and safe space during transport. We use high-density foam inserts in a variety of thicknesses and glued together to provide an accurate 3D negative.
Send us your equipment for a 3D scan for the best results, or provide a detailed schematic from which the negative can be produced.
In this project, we’ve created a customized box with a precisely cut foam insert to protect expensive and sensitive tools.
Geometric headboards
CNC machines are capable of creating stunning, intricate patterns on wooden headboards, bringing a sense of artistic flair to any bedroom.
This awe-inspiring design was created from an 18mm ply and 5mm MDF backing board to create a two-tone and rigid piece of wall art. The headboard is subsequently supported by floor-standing wood supports, affixed to the bed base. The headboard can also be designed to be wall-hanging if required.
A variety of intricate designs are available but any design can be considered. If you have an idea in mind, contact us to see if we can create it.
Simple, elegant oak coffee table
Simple is sometimes the best. Here I created a commissioned coffee table out of a 40mm solid white oak on black metal legs. The top is finished in the finest of hard waxes with a ceracoat layer to provide a long lasting surface finish.
