Having owned and operated my sign shop since late 1970, I created wood signs
for commercial businesses in northern Wisconsin.
With my 6 children moving away, 4 becoming Marines,
and starting families of their own,
I relocated to the mountains of NE Tennessee in May of 2002,
scaling down my operations to smaller signs & plaques.
Only new wood is used, but everything is distressed to impart a look of heritage.
I employ power hand tools for construction, but all are hand-guided; no computers.
All lettering & artwork is accomplished by hand.
No decals or vinyl graphics are employed.  
All materials are made in the USA.

* Name and Chevron are hand-lettered in Gold & Scarlet or Black.
Available in 5 background finishes, shown below, left to right:
Marine Green, Woodland Cammie, Forest MARPAT,  Desert MARPAT, & Natural Wood.
* It's suggested that a "Friendly" first name be used, due to the size of the Globe.  
Name & Chevron will be covered in a follow-up e-mail.

Since all my work is custom, nothing can be immediately shipped.
Most plaques are finished in 7 to 10 days.  Should I not be able to fulfill that commitment,
a personal contact will be made with the details.
I've also chosen Priority Mailing with the U.S. Postal Service.  
They accept a PO Box, and deliver on Saturdays.
Even during rush periods, most plaques arrive within the country in 3 days.
I now specialize in signs and plaques, specifically for
Active Duty Military and Veterans.
Although originally intended for personal decor,
many have been used as awards and retirement gifts.
I never accept donations, but I provide custom work that may be higher
or lower in price than plaques shown on this website.
After all the details have been covered with separate e-mails,
this Donation Button is provided for an easy payment............

A Marine lost a buddy in Vietnam so these words meant a lot to him. His wife wanted
something for him, using those words, and I created this plaque.  Upon receiving it, she
suggested I provide something similar for those who might want a Remembrance.
Although this sample is for Marines, I can also provide for all the Service Branches.
I've priced this plaque to cover my expenses only, and not a method of financial gain.
The Remembrance for a Fallen Warrior is more important, and I trust this won't be abused.
E-mail me with the chosen background and Service Branch...
Marine Corps Emblem / Army Unit / Ship's Name / Air Base can be used as the focal point.
Affixed to the
reverse side.
Optional Emblem
in Gold & Black
SUSAN has been shipping boxes of "goodies"
to our Troops in the War Zones for years.
She was presented with the attached plaque
by a group of Marines for her efforts.
More on Susan, and how to support her cause
will follow shortly.
Despite increases in postage & materials,
this price has remained the same since 1999.
Marine Corps Ka-Bar
At 21" long, it's almost twice the size as the Real Deal.
Solid wood, but with the appearance of Parkerized Steel and Leather.
* My Marine uncle's Ka-Bar from WWII had the bent "tab"
as a comfortable thumb-rest.
So I fashioned my issue that way, and all I make follow that Tradition.
With copy comparable with the samples shown,
the same pricing is applied for all.
E-mail me with the desired copy before ordering, since there is no provision
there.
