Wall Plaque
A simple wall plaque touting the importance of farmers was requested by a Milwaukee woman for her daughter's Christmas present. She wanted it small enough to stay within a budget and big enough to be readable for a rather long quote. I designed it with a straight forward easy to read type on an 12" x 4" poplar plaque with rounded ends and ogee routing. The quote was routed into the plaque with a CNC router and then painted to stain out on the lighter wood plaque. A keyhole was cut into the back for hanging and two coats of satin polyurethane made for a simple, but profound message. It will hang on the wall of her daughter and was completed in one weeks time.

Dec 20, 2013Everything went as planned and working with Joel Wakitsch was wonderful. He made exactly what I described in my email. He kept me informed and completed the project ahead of schedule so I could have by Christmas since it was a gift to my daughter. Thank you Joel!

Dec 23, 2013What a great pleasure to work with Joel from Belly Up Pub Hub. He worked with me to fine tune a custom made sign. His communication was timely and he was able to make my vision to perfection with just a couple emails. He even got it done and shipped in time for a Christmas present. I would highly recommend him and would certainly use him again in the future. Thank you!
