At 865 Laser Art, we are passionate about designing, creating and crafting items that are customized to your life.
Rick and I have slowly evolved into the laser art and sublimation world. Our journey started with furniture painting as a hobby. In no time that grew into a thriving business with a loyal customer base.
As times change, we change with the times. There are still beautiful pieces of furniture being painted and sold out there, but we have pivoted toward smaller items that have sentimental value.
Whether it's a shiny, sleek bar necklace that has your favorite affirmations engraved on each side, a memorial miniature rocker with your loved ones' name inscribed, or a hand-painted pair of earrings we've got you! Need ideas? We've got you! Have ideas for us? You'll have our attention and we'll work hard at designing something special for you. We enjoy specializing in personalized gifts.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! We look forward to hearing from you,
Kim and Rick Cathey.

We take pride in providing our customers personalized items that are truly unique. From the quality of wood, to the design choices and to the craftsmanship we get excited knowing we are offering our customers a quality product.
The wood is lightweight and at times stained to achieve different effects. Because of being lightweight we are able to layer pieces of wood, which provides a more textured, richer, dimensional end result.
Our variety is vast, but because we value faith and family you will find many pieces that reflect those things.
The above picture shows one of the laser cut signs we sell. This beautiful tree represents our family. There are 3 wood layers...the background, the cut tree and the top layer of hearts and "family".
Because we customize the word can be substituted with a family name or something else and of course the hearts would have whatever names you provide.
Our wood items vary from earrings to giftcard holders, memorial items, patriotic pieces, holiday articles, coasters and so much more!
Check out our growing merchandise. *Slight differences will be made from one item to another. This happens with handcrafted items. The same love and attention is given to each item.

What are sublimated items? The word sublimation basically means, to change something from a solid to a gas state. For the purpose of what we do we are able to take most any picture or text and print it onto special paper, using special ink, then transfer it to a product using a specific heat and pressure combination.
The image then absorbs
What are sublimated items? The word sublimation basically means, to change something from a solid to a gas state. For the purpose of what we do we are able to take most any picture or text and print it onto special paper, using special ink, then transfer it to a product using a specific heat and pressure combination.
The image then absorbs into the product and becomes permanent.
The best results happen when using 100% polyester, but because that isn't always an option the industry is doing a better job of providing "blanks" with a polyester coating applied that can be sublimated.
In the picture above a tall, skinny water bottle, coffee mug, car coasters, bookmarks, mousepad and earrings were all sublimated with the same design.
The true beauty of sublimation is we can customize it to your preferences. Add YOUR photos onto a mug? YES! Put your logo on t-shirts? YES! Take your child's creative artwork and have a one of a kind canvas bag made? YES!
What about earrings that have sunflowers on them? YES!

We have strong roots in our community and our schools. As a native of Powell, Rick grew up in the Powell schools, and has taught, coached and mentored hundreds and hundreds of young people. In fact, he teaches at the very school he graduated from!
There aren't many places that we go that people don't come up and say, "Coach Cathey, is that you?" They usually have a story to tell of how he made a difference in their life.
Very heartwarming!
I arrived on the scene in 2000. As a transplant from the north I worked hard in the community to get established professionally and socially.
Within a couple of years I met and married Rick. A few years later we felt the calling to become foster parents. We ended up adopting two kiddos, which has been a blessing to say the least.
Our full circle moment will come in May 2024 when our youngest will graduate from the very high school that his dad and grandparents graduated from.
The picture above represents the year that Powell High School won the state championship in their division.
We are very proud of our community!
