This plaque is created as a retirement offering for members of the CT. Dept. of Correction's Special Operations Group. The design interpretation is that of a shield with a number 1 and an asterisk. This is a common symbol found in the tactical operations community intended as a modern translation that a warriors only regret is that he has but one life to give. The modern day version is the 1*, translated into "one a$$ to risk". This particular plaque was created for one of the Unit's precision marksmen and therefore places the 1* over an image reminiscent of a scope reticle (Cross hair). The coins display each side of the unit's official challenge coin an in between them is the member's name and inscription. this is set in a bed of clear epoxy and the inscription is laser engraved. The frame and the 1* are made from walnut, the center is made from cherry, and the reticle is made from paduk.

Custom wooden creations designed and built to the customers specifications. I am a one person shop and my motto is that I WILL NOT give you a product that you are not completely happy with. I am a communication oriented business in that I continuously provide photos of the projects progress and welcome the input of the customer. I am more than willing to provide a detailed cost analysis of any project and discuss any project specifics. I design and build my projects with the intent that they will last a lifetime. I enjoy what do and I believe that this shines though in my projects.

For Slanted Box DesignJason is INCREDIBLE. Working with him was so easy - he contacted me frequently as the project was being built, he took pictures and checked every step of the way to ensure I was overjoyed with the final product. I put out several bids for this project and I'm thrilled with his craftsmanship and (most importantly to me) his professionalism in providing value AND design. Definitely a pleasure to work with and the box came out beautifully!!!

For Cribbage BoardAbsolutely thrilled with this product. Not many people outside of the funeral industry are very familiar with caskets, and not many people outside of Wisconsin know anything about cribbage. Jason went forward with the project before I accepted a proposal. He thought it would be fun and put no pressure on me to buy. But what he made from two simple pictures I provided was so great, I had to have it. And his price was above what I hoped for the project but the product was well worth the price. Five stars across the board.
