Salvaged, Locally Harvested Walnut Award Plaque

$50

As an environmental educator I enjoy connecting people with the wonders of our natural world. I have a tremendous amount of interest in the trees that shape our forests- from their ability to sustain our ecosystems to their uniqueness and beauty. These plaques are custom made to fit your organization's logo or any other design. We utilize a plank of sustainably harvested black walnut (Juglans nigra) along with contrasting hardwood species of your choice in thin stock as well as hardwood veneer to provide a diversity of thicknesses. You can also choose to order a blank faced plaque comprised of a finished plank of walnut and apply a brass plaque to the entire face. Makes for a much more distinctive award than a laminated, press-board walnut imitation plaques commonly given. Cost is based upon the complexity of the brand or other image represented. The ones shown in the images were crafted at a cost of $70.00, and measure 10 inches by 13 inches by 2 inches thick. Cost does not include the brass plaque, which I can add or you can order independently. I'm happy to create a design for you or interpret your own in wood.

  • Long-time member

    A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.

  • Fast shipper

    Customers say that this Maker ships promptly after completing a project.

  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I am a professional environmental educator and naturalist in Western North Carolina who enjoys using locally harvested and reclaimed hardwoods in designing and building functional woodwork.

I have a strong interest in creating works that highlight the biodiversity and character of the Southern Appalachians. If that appeals you you, let me know!

The wood I use in all projects is sustainably harvested and in most cases locally sourced. I do not use any exotic hardwoods, as these are often not harvested sustainably and create a large environmental impact by shipping them to the United States. All wood glue is food-safe when cured and waterproof. Finishes are all non-toxic.

    I just received my cherry wood cutting board today. It's an incredible work of art! I'm very happy both with the quality of the work and the fair price that Jonathan quoted for the project. If you have an opportunity to work with this exceptionally skilled artist, do so! Thanks, Jonathan, for this new treasured family heirloom.

    Jonathon was a pleasure to work with. My only negative is that I didn't communicate as well as I should. The coat rack that he sent is beautiful and well made, just not exactly what I had pictured. I am happy with it though! He did install flush mount wall attachments to the rack, but did not send the wall attachments, which may have just been an oversight, and I will contact him directly about this. I was thrilled to be his first customer on Custom Made, and will definitely contact him again with future projects. The coat rack arrived on time (before Christmas) and was well packaged. Thanks, Jonathon!

    Ordered a cutting board from Stonefly - had a certain aesthetic that i was aiming for - sort of a slightly rustic yet substantial look/feel. Finished product was beautiful and exceeded my expectations - the darker and lighter color striations give the board a very unique and non-commercial feel. Board was also delivered in a timely fashion and would definitely look to buy more from Stonefly in the future.
