Shadow Box For Retiring Military

This is a shadow box made to look like swimming flippers for the Coast Guard Helicopter Rescue Swimmer, who will be receiving it for retirement. The piece is made from cherry and stained dark to bring out the natural beauty of the wood. The crew that requested this for their co-worker will be placing the ribbons and medals once it gets to them. They'll present it at the retirement event for the individual. The shadow box is made to hang on the wall. There is plexiglass inset to protect the medals and ribbons. It's removable with small screws. It's always a pleasure to work with the military community. This job was an honor. If you need a different emblem please let us know. We can customize it to your branch of service.

    Palmer Union provided good ideas to help refine my project concept, kept good communication throughout the project,
    did just what they said they would do, kept to the timeframe, and the final product looks and works great. They also followed up to make sure I was satisfied. Their professionalism and care for their customers are evident.

    Colleen is absolutely fantastic. I gave her a very broad idea of what I wanted and she came up with a great design. My box was incredibly clean looking and solid. Nothing gets stuck or moved too easily. The color of the wood stain was exactly what I asked for. She even notified me of a slight shipping delay due to extreme weather in Montana. I am absolutely going to order from her again. Thanks Colleen!

    The Palmer's were just wonderful to work with and my wooden sign which I had them put an old fashioned phone on and a message of "Don't forget your cell phone!", came out perfect…. It is just a great piece to remind me to not leave the house without my phone. I just love it and it is adorable. Thank you Coleen and Bob!
