Have you ever walked into a business and been completely amazed at the wide variety of items that they sell and the personalization you can receive with each purchase?

You will feel this exact feeling when you walk into Focused Beam Engraving & Gift Shop. When you drive up to Focused Beam, you really have no idea what to expect as it has a very unassuming exterior, but walk inside and you will find something you needed or many didn’t even know you had to have until that moment.

Larry Melton started Focused Beam Engraving after his military career as a way to do something different and to be able to work with the public. He prides himself in offering a little bit of everything. His ability to personalize just about anything makes it a place to go for a specialty wedding gift such as an engraved cake pan with the couple’s name or a First Communion Bible imprinted with the recipient’s name. Birthday, retirement, baptist, holidays…truly the occasions are endless, but you will find it at Focused Beam.

What started as a hobby has turned into a full time career. Open Monday – Friday from 9 am – 4pm, you can find Melton working on a plethora of different mediums. From wood to metal and jewelry to drink wear, he can create exactly the design you are looking for on most any item. Melton stated that some of the most popular items that he makes are metal photo frames, bully sticks, drink wear, and memorial items. Custom made items for pets are also popular purchases and they can engrave on tags, bowls, signs, and more.

When a person passes away, mourners often feel it is comforting and even healing to have mementos to remember their loved one. Focused Beam Engraving can make cremation jewelry, custom engraved urns, keepsake picture frames, and more to give as a gift or for yourself during a difficult time in life. Melton is honored to work with people during their times of loss and will take great care to provide the best service possible.
