Wood Carving Gifts | Carved Wood Signs & Wooden Name Plates

 
Some people like to take just one craft or hobby and perfect it. Perhaps they make candles, or perhaps they make bookshelves. Perhaps they like to paint, or perhaps they like to sculpt. Whatever it is, they dedicate all of their spare time to it and perfect their craft.  My favorite craft is wood working and particularly, 3D custom wood carved signs and plaques.  I have made personalized wood carvings my business.

Looking for a great wood carved gift for someone special? Why not consider a unique, wooden name carving? Personalized gifts show that someone has really gone out of their way to do something special for a loved one. Some ideas include holiday gift, plaque for baby's room, friend's birthday, thank a teacher or coach, housewarming gift, anniversary gift or a personalized wedding gift, graduation gift -  How about a wood carving of your beloved dog, cat, horse or other pet? 

Some other ideas include personalized signs, children's door name plates, front door or home entry plaques, unique name plates, kids wooden name plaque, unique medical signs, teacher door plaques, wooden signs for an office door,  myspace name plates.  The wood carving  ideas are endless!

 Let me help you solve your shopping dilemma without having to leave the privacy, security and comfort of your home!

What Makes my Wood Carvings Unique from Others? 

Cross - 8" x 6 " - $77 (price varies with size and wood)

1- My attention to detail is far superior than most wood carvings you will find on the internet.

2- I am unique to most wood carvers because I carve what is called "outset" letters. In this process I first outline the letter and then carve a background around the letter, creating a sort of "island" or 3D effect. This process takes much more time and attention to detail as you can see. if you do any searching for hand carved signs on EBay, the internet, fairs or craft shows, you will find most carved signs have what we call "inset" letters. These are letters that are carved into the board and usually painted black or some other color. My outset letters are far superior to inset letters.

3- Because of the time and detail I put into each sign, my quality and unique style speaks for itself.

4- I do not hire out other people to work on your carving. I do each one myself and take great pride in each creation.

Decorate Your Home with Wood 

10" x 4" $100

When I was a kid, all of my bedroom decorating ideas, and my bedroom decoration itself, came from my parents. It was really easy. All I really needed was stuffed animals and a comfortable quilt, and I would be happy.

My parents came up with all kinds of great bedroom decor ideas on their own. They put up a picture of the solar system on my wall and even got me a bed that looked like a spaceship when I became interested in astronomy. Another time, they decorated my bedroom to look like one of my favorite cartoons. All in all, they had fantastic bedroom decor ideas for me, but as I began to enter adolescence, I knew that I needed to take over and make my room my own.

After all, aside from the clothes you wear, there is nothing that you can use to express yourself better than the way your rooms are decorated. I became interested in wood carving years ago as a way to add character and my own personality to my surroundings. Ask me for some ideas - I have tons of them :)

Wood Carving of Your Favorite Motto 

24" x 6", $ 150

Do you have a certain motto that you live by? Why not carve it in wood for posterity?

"Bring Our Troups Safely Home" Wall Plaque 

12"x12" 1" thick, laminated oak, $147

Despite what you may think about the war in Iraq, our troops are over there risking and sacrificing their lives every day, so we really need to support them.

Even elementary schools support our troops by raising money to buy food and gifts to be sent over. They recently did this in my neck of the woods for Easter. This is awesome! Now you know if children can find ways to support our troops, you certainly can too. Buy a few magnet ribbons for your vehicle and express how much you support our troops. They need all the support they can get.

    I would like to have a wooden plaque made for my huband's birthday. I would like it to read "Mike's Grill Pit" I think the idea sixe would be 22x8, could you get back to me and let me know if it can be done and the cost? If you could give me a time frame as well. I know I can't get it for his birthday in July. But it's something I would like to get.
