Hello, my name is Matt Gang. Thanks for visiting my website. Grey Owl Design was started in 2012. Back then I cut out templates by hand, traced them with a pencil, then cut out the products with a jigsaw. Things really got going when I invested in a laser cutter.
Every design uses sustainably harvested Baltic birch plywood chosen for tight, void-free core plies that yield clean kerf lines and rich toasted edges under focused light.
Drawn in our Burlington workshop, cut with precision, and sanded smooth by hand to ensure each ornament and earring feels personal and rooted in place.
From vector to bench
Vector layout
Focused laser cutting
Manual hand finishing
Original botanical and geometric motifs are drafted digitally to optimize grain direction and clean cuts.
Clean kerf lines and distinctive toasted edges emerge under precise light without harsh charring.
Each cutout receives manual edge inspection, fine-grit sanding, and natural oil finishing.
