How to ask
Requests go through CherryCut. Tell me:
- the text: a name, a word or a short line
- the script: Arabic, Fraktur, Celtic uncial or Japanese
- the occasion, and whether you need the piece by a certain date
Draft – for Nedim to write What happens after the request only Nedim can say: is there a design to approve before cutting? Which sizes and woods can people choose? A rough price and how long it takes?
