Salvaged, Locally Harvested Walnut Award Plaque
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.

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.

For Appalachian Edge Grain Hardwood Cutting Boards4.8Jonathon did a fabulous job with a custom made butcher block that now sits inside our counter. I was able to send him a template and measurements which he absolutely nailed! He used local North Carolina black walnut mixed in with other woods to give it a beautiful contrasting look. His prices are very reasonable. I will certainly use him again as well as recommend him to others.

For Appalachian Edge Grain Hardwood Cutting Boards5.0I was delightfully surprised by the quality of Stonefly Woodcrafts' work. It is always a bit of a gamble to order online and I couldn't have been happier with the results. The cutting boards I ordered were skillfully crafted and obviously done with care. A great value for the price- they could definitely charge more for this work! Perfect items for gifts and great customer service that makes me want to place an order the next time I need a quick gift idea or something more intricately hand crafted for a friend or family. Thanks again!

For Appalachian Edge Grain Hardwood Cutting Boards5.0I ordered a custom cutting board for my boyfriend, who does his own woodworking and can be quite picky. Working with Jonathan was great. He communicated well with me and rushed the order to get it to me by Christmas. I loved the final product, and even more importantly, by boyfriend did too! He even pointed out how well made it was. I would definitely recommend to a friend!
