Lisa Rayburn and her husband ran an engraving and home decor shop in Horse Cave, Kentucky.

They use a machine that cuts wood with the use of a CO2 laser.

Their work is even caught the eye of several well-known names from outside the Commonwealth.

Find out who and this week's Arts and Culture segment we call Tapestry.

At Treasure Creations.

We make all kinds of customized gifts.

We do baby gifts for the hospital.

We do home decor, we do engraving, we do sublimation and t shirts and caps.

And I make all the Christmas ornaments that's in my store.

And so it's a lot of fun.

I was sitting at home doing absolutely nothing, and I decided that I wanted to do something to just have a little hobby.

And I went to buy a laser machine and I was going to get one of the small home lasers.

And then when I got there, I decided, No, that's that's not gonna do what I want to do.

So we went big and bought the big laser.

And so I just started playing with it at home and I got it one month before COVID.

So when I started playing with it at home, I found out that people like this stuff and they were ordered it.

So I thought, well, turn it into a business.

We can engrave on just about any kind of wood, and we put the wood in the machine and we set the machine up.

We do everything on the computer that we want it to look like what a finished product.

We send it to the machine and it starts laser engraving and then cutting it.

It'll cut it out also.

And the engraving, the doll, it's done by a light, actually a laser light.

It never touches the piece that we put in the machine.

We do engrave rving for different people and even like to the Moonshiners on TV series.

We met a few of them several years ago at an event that we went to and they were there with an open bar serving moonshine.

And I told my husband, I said, When we go on, we'll take some stuff that I can show to the home and maybe they'll order.

And he said, No, they won't order nothing like that.

And I said, okay, but I took it anyway and they ordered a bunch.

And so about once a month I make a trip to the Smoky Mountains to deliver the items that I've made for them.

And then they are in a thing with Richard Petty called the Moonshine Run.

And this is a yearly event that they have, and all the proceeds from that goes to help veterans with the things that they need.

And so I want it on board with that because I love the veterans.

I appreciate what they've done for our country and us.

And so I wanted to contribute to that.

So I came up with a big wall hanging that it was a 20 by 32, and I took that down that brought $450.

And then I did canvases of Richard Petty that was 350, and it was just a really nice event.

And then of course, we met Danielle pardon, the niece of Dolly Parton.

And so I've got to meet her several times and she's just a joy to be around.

And that's how I got into the dolly, which I did a lot of fundraising here for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library for the kids.

But when I got down there, they were going to have a big event.

So I made a book for them out of wood.

I was happy to contribute to all of them.

I love Back in the Ornaments.

They're just a special thing that, you know, I like to do and anything that has to do with Christ, I love, you know, the nativity and stuff like that.

And I named my business the treasured creations because I love to do items that will be treasured for years to come by family members.

Wow, what a neat thing Lisa hopes to get and embroidery machine as well as a laser that can cut through metal, not just wood, to further vary her designs and decorations.
