Personalized Plaque
10H x 8W x 3/4D
When a friend asked for a wooden Valentine, and told me to use my imagination, this is what I came up with. Black walnut background, Versal lettering, carved, gilded, bas-relief heart, and a rock maple frame. Instead of a heart, picture a different object that holds special meaning, your monogram, or date for an anniversary, graduation, birthday, or other special occasion. Use your imagination.
Starting at $575
