The same stone hand-prepped in our workshop: sanded, polished and clear-coated. Smooth, sealed and photo-ready, and it takes engraving beautifully.
Reclaimed oak barrel head, sanded and prepped with its aged character intact. A ready wood canvas for your own artwork.

Common questions
About the Blanks
What is the difference between raw and polished slate?
Raw slate is the stone as we receive it: authentic textured edges and a natural finish, ready for your laser. Polished slate is sanded, polished and clear-coated in our workshop, so it is smooth, sealed and display-ready straight out of the box.
Do you offer bulk quantities?
Yes. Slate blanks are stocked at the shop, and volume pricing is available on request. Message us with the quantity you need and we will confirm.
Can you engrave the blanks for me instead?
Yes. If you are not running your own laser, we engrave polished slate with your custom design starting at $25. See the store or start a custom job and we will plan it with you.
Do you offer local pickup?
Yes. Orders can be picked up at 730 Front Rd in Kingston during regular shop hours, Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM.
We use these blanks in our own work every day, so they arrive at your bench the way we would want them. Visit Kingston Engraving at 730 Front Rd, Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM, or order blanks through the online store.
