Questions
Frequently asked
What is a custom metal portrait?
A custom metal portrait is your photograph precisely laser engraved into a solid sheet of premium stainless steel or aluminum. Unlike prints or canvas, the image becomes part of the metal itself — permanent, fade-proof, and built to last for generations.
How long will the engraving last?
Because the image is annealed directly into the metal, it will not fade, peel, or deteriorate under normal indoor conditions. A properly cared for Wild Pines metal portrait is designed to last a lifetime and beyond.
Can I upload my own photo?
Yes. Every Wild Pines portrait is made from a photo you provide. Higher resolution images produce the sharpest engraving. Our team reviews every submission and will reach out if we recommend a stronger image.
What materials are available?
We handcraft portraits on premium stainless steel and aluminum. Both are architectural-grade, corrosion resistant, and finished to a warm, museum-quality luster.
Will it rust?
No. Our stainless steel and aluminum are naturally rust and corrosion resistant, so your portrait keeps its finish year after year in a normal indoor environment.
Can I display it outdoors?
Our portraits are designed and tested for indoor display, including covered porches and three-season rooms. We recommend keeping them out of direct, prolonged rain and sun to preserve their finish.
How long does production take?
Because every portrait is handcrafted in our Maine workshop, current production typically takes about 5 to 10 business days before shipping. Rush timelines are available for memorial and gift orders — just reach out.
Is every portrait handmade?
Yes. Every Wild Pines metal portrait is prepared, engraved, inspected, and packaged by hand in Maine. No two are exactly alike.
Is this a good memorial gift?
A metal portrait is one of the most meaningful memorial gifts you can give. It transforms a treasured photograph into a permanent heirloom — a way to honor and remember a loved one for generations.
Do you ship throughout the United States?
Yes. We ship to all 50 U.S. states from our workshop in Maine, carefully packaged to arrive ready to display.
