Military
Having a strong military history in our family, some of our favorite things to make are items for our protectors and their dependents. As an Army brat herself, Dianne wants to give a personal thank you to all the spouses. parents, and children of those that risk all to keep us safe and free. She knows the sacrifices you are making as well.
Here are a few things we have made to give you some ideas. We do our own design work so if you don't see what you want...that does NOT mean we can't make it! Contact us and tell us what you want.

Coin Holders
Being given a challenge coin represents comrade or unity and proves membership of a certain group, as well as honoring the actions of those who receive them.
Our coin holders are made from solid wood and the carving is filled with epoxy to accent the details. These coin holders make a great gifts or personal purchase to display a nice collection of coins. Have a huge collection? We got you. Give us a call!
Priced as seen for an 11.25 x 16 inch desk display holding about 30 coins is $75. If you are limited in desk space or perfer a wall display this size will hold about 20 coins and is the same price. Personalize it with rank and name for no extra charge. I suggest also adding the years of service for a vetran at no extra charge!

Marine Coin Holder
We can make coin holders out of almost any item we have! These are our epoxy flags. The smaller 7.25 x 14 cost $75 and holds about coins 15 coins if there is no seal/insignia. The larger one measures 11.25 x 22, holds about 25 coins when there is no seal/insignia and cost $125. These can be made to hang on the wall but coin space will be lost.
Here's an idea...how about your MOS or Unit insignia as a promotion or farwell gift...we could add a message on the back...even copy peoples signatures or handwriting!
This special order measured 28 x 36 inches and holds over 100 coins. We sell these for $275 as seen with frame, customized and personaized.

Thank you for your service MCPO Wilson.
Seals and Flags
Flag, noun: a piece of cloth or similar material attachable by one edge to a pole or rope and used as the symbol or emblem of a country or institution or as a decoration during public festivities
​
Seal/Insignia, noun: a badge of authority or honor
​
Sounds so simple, cold, and generic, yet when you see YOUR flag or YOUR insignia it takes on meaning. We have always taught our children to show pride in who they are, who they represent, and where they come from! If you feel the same. one of these pieces might find a place in your home.
As pictured here, the seals or insignias measure 11.25 x 11.25 inches and cost $60. Our standard size for the flags are 7.25 x 14 inches ($75) and 11.25 x 22 inches ($125). If you prefer the natural wood with no epoxy then you will save the extra $10 materials cost.
Heirlooms
Heirloom Personal Effects Chests were originally commissioned to honor the memory of those soldiers who had fallen while serving to protect this nation. Now they are often ordered by our retiring heroes, or less often, early in their careers to
"keep it all together". Either way, we
would love to have a part in keeping
your memories alive.

Outside of box
Our standard chest measures 30 x 18 x 16 inches, one compartment shadow box on inside or outside of the lid, one carving on area of choice, rank, name and years of service on the same side as carving. and a tray inside. Our base price is $550.
​
Maj. Lewis chose to upgrade his lid with several compartments all with different fabrics, change the tray into a coin holder, and add years of service on the side rather than to the top. He also modified the size at no charge.

Military shadow boxes were originally simple boxes in which sailors retiring from shipboard service carried their belongings ashore. Superstition held that if the sailor's shadow touched shore before he set foot upon it, he would suffer ill luck. By carrying his belongings, a

metaphorical "shadow" of himself, enclosed within the box he could ensure he would touch land before his "shadow".
By tradition, shadow boxes are typically presented to members of the United States Armed Forces upon retirement. These shadow boxes will usually contain the various medals and awards a person has earned through a military career, the flags of both their country and their military service branch, and their final badge of rank. A similar case, called a uniform display case, displays an entire military uniform with correct insignia placement. Let's work together to make yours the perfect gift for that special person!
We will work with you do design the perfect box that will be cherished for generations. Our basic shadow box is made of solid wood and includes personalized designed front, a flag section, a mementos section with felt back in your color choice, flag templet custom cut to your box and, rank, name and years of service carved.
