Military Shadow Box

A client requested a shadow box for her retirement from the military. She asked that it have a tiger on it and the colors of her beloved LSU team. We made the box from pine and then carefully painted it. Used tempered glass for the lid. Attached a piano hinge and magnetic catches. The tiger head was carved with our CNC router as was the nameplate. She'll be receiving this shadow box during her retirement ceremony. Always a pleasure to work with the military - congrats Crystal!

    We are extremely happy with the finished product. They were very professional and thoughtful during the whole process. We sent multiple photos to be carved on the sides of the urn and we are so pleased, the carvings look just like our son. The details are beautiful. The craftsmanship is wonderful. I wanted something unique and special and not only is the urn unique and special but the experience of working with Palmer Union Design was as well.

    Colleen was very easy to work with. She kept communication open and was very timely in her responses. She answered all of my questions without any issues. I asked for adjustments on the final piece and she had them done without a second thought.

    The final product was amazing! Very beautiful and just perfect. Beautifully carved wood, stained and painted the colors of the wedding. I'm sure my friend will love it as her cake topper and a keepsake after her wedding. I'm really excited for her to see it on her big day!

    Thank you Bob and Colleen!
