How big are the bricks?
Dimensions below are length × width × height:
- Standard 2×4
- 1.25″ × 0.63″ × 0.38″
- Plus 2×2
- 1.25″ × 1.25″ × 15/16″
- Plus 2×4
- 2.5″ × 1.25″ × 15/16″

Will Timber Brands bricks connect with LEGO® bricks?
Standard bricks are LEGO®-compatible. Plus bricks are compatible with the larger LEGO® DUPLO® format. Choose the format that matches the bricks you already use.
What materials do you use?
Our wooden bricks use FSC-certified natural wood. Grain and color give each piece its own character. Custom bamboo bricks are also available by quote.
Explore why we use wood, or request a bamboo quote.
Can I buy bricks with a design already on them?
Yes. Our pre-engraved gifts and sets feature designs you can choose without creating your own artwork. Browse by product or occasion and review the contents of your selected set.
Are Timber Figures, baseplates, and building sets available?
Timber Figures, baseplates, and complete building sets are coming soon. Watch for collection details and release announcements. Custom wooden bricks, engraved gifts, and custom bamboo orders are available today.
Customization & artwork
Make your words, artwork, or logo your own.
How do I create a custom brick?
Choose a product and quantity, then open the customizer. Add text, icons, your artwork, or a QR code and arrange them in the live preview. Review spelling, layout, engraving options, and the price before checkout.
Which artwork files can I upload?
The online customizer accepts PNG and JPG images. Use clear artwork with strong contrast and a transparent or plain white background. Check the preview after uploading, especially if you remove the background.
Have a different file type or need help preparing a logo? Ask our team before ordering.
Can I see my design before I order?
Yes. The live preview shows your layout as you create it. Check names, spelling, positioning, and both sides if you select back engraving. The finished wood grain and engraving tone can vary from the preview.
Can I engrave both sides?
Yes. Select optional back engraving in the customizer, then switch between Front and Back to create each design. The option applies to each brick in the selected pack. Review the additional cost before checking out.
Will my logo be engraved in its original colors?
Your design is laser engraved into the wood, so uploaded colors are not reproduced as printed colors. Use the preview to check the engraving layout. Natural grain and engraving tones vary between pieces.
Can I add a QR code?
Yes. Enter your website address in the customizer to create a QR code. Position the code inside the engraving guide and keep its surrounding clear border free of text and artwork. You can also put it on the back when back engraving is selected.
Check that the address opens the page you want. Once your bricks arrive, scan a finished brick with your phone before sharing it.
What makes a clear engraving?
Simple shapes, readable lettering, strong contrast, and space between details work well. Keep the design inside the engraving guide. For a detailed logo or a longer message, consider a larger Plus brick.
If your artwork looks crowded in the preview, ask us for help before ordering.
Can you help with my artwork or idea?
Yes. Share your artwork or describe what you want to create. Include the brick format, quantity, and any deadline so we can discuss the options for your project.

Wood & product care
A little care for the pieces you keep and share.
How should I clean my wooden bricks?
Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, then let the bricks dry fully. Do not soak or submerge them. Keep moisture exposure brief to protect the natural wood, and store the bricks in a dry place between uses.
Will every brick look exactly the same?
Natural wood and bamboo vary in grain, color, and texture. Engraving tones can vary too, even when pieces carry the same design. These natural differences are part of each brick’s character.
Can I draw, color, or paint on my wooden bricks?
Yes. The uncoated natural wood surface can be personalized with colored pencils, crayons, markers, and paints or stains suitable for wood. Test your chosen material on a small area, follow its directions, and let wet finishes dry fully before handling or building.
Marks may remain in the grain even when a marker is labeled erasable. Explore ways to make wood your own.
