A studio of one — Tyler Rosekrans.
Old-world designs, modern precision.
Western scrollwork, eagles, filigree — drawn by hand,
cut by fiber laser into knives, magazines, and keepsakes
meant to outlast the hand that bought them.
The design is the point.·Drawn first, lasered last.·No clipart, no stock.·Cut to outlast the hand.·Heirloom marks, modern method.·The design is the point.·Drawn first, lasered last.·No clipart, no stock.·Cut to outlast the hand.·Heirloom marks, modern method.·
Every design is custom — never stock, never clipart.
The drawing is the work; the fiber laser is just
how it gets faithful to the metal, to a thousandth, every time.
“The design is the work.The laser is just my graver.”

i.
Sketch
Pencil first. Every commission begins on paper — sized to the piece, refined until the scrollwork sits where it should.
ii.
Vector
The drawing is rebuilt in LightBurn — every curve a path, every fill a layer. Nothing leaves the screen until it's the drawing, exactly.
iii.
Burn
Fiber laser, locked to the file. Depth, speed, and pass count tuned to the metal — the line comes through clean to a thousandth.
iv.
Finish
Cleaned, contrasted, and inspected under loupe. The piece leaves the bench when it's ready — and not before.
