Custom Wooden Plaque
We can make plaques and signs in whatever shape you'd like, with text, pictures, or logos engraved or carved. A variety of materials can be used. We'll work with you and send you proofs so it will be just the way you want it. This custom guitar shaped plaque was commissioned by the members of a musical ensemble for their director, in the shape of his Gibson guitar, 28" long. It's made out of white oak, engraved, with a little bit of stain applied to the engraving, and finished with a spar urethane for outdoor durability. We included hardware for mounting on a wall. The "Family" plaque was made to commemorate a birth, and is engraved and carved into solid cherry. The footprints are carved in 3D from a scan of the baby's actual footprints. Let us know what kind of plaque you're looking for, what type of wood and finish, whether the plaque will be displayed outdoors or indoors, and your timeframe. We look forward to working with you to design a piece that you'll love.

For Walnut & Spalted Maple Jewelry/Keepsake Box5.0Wow - Nathan is a true craftsman. I can honestly say, he FAR exceeded my expectations. I had him create a custom keepsake box as a wedding gift for my wife and he was able to inscribe it with a custom design and phrase that I made myself using MS Powerpoint. That made it really easy to get the inscription to look and say exactly as I wanted. Anyway - back to the woodwork. The attention to detail (added chamfers to soften corners, sanding work and subtle varnish, the inlays, the joints) is way above anything you are going to find from all but the best craftsman. The fit and finish is - in a word - perfect. (and that is high praise - I myself am an OCD engineer perfectionist). What made it even more special was the wood cuts he chose. The wood grains simply look other worldy. I never knew wood could pop like this and make you unable to look away. Its that gorgeous. Nathan has created an heirloom that will now be in my family for generations. Simply exquisite. Thank you Nathan!!

For Maple Cutting Board With Padauk5.0Nathan was flexible and worked with me in designing a custom cutting board to fit a slot in my cabinetry. I would highly recommend Nathan to anyone who isn't sure which way to go, or who has a partial idea that needs to develop.

For Wooden Toy Turtle - Customized With Name5.0This is a beautiful piece of work. The turtle is cute, but the smooth finish is gorgeous. We bought it for a new baby gift, and the personalization is lovely. The shipping amount was modest, and it arrived faster than expected. Most happy with this, our first purchase. Showed to some friends, and they wanted information to see other items, too. We will be back!

For Walnut & Maple Chessboard5.0Cynthia & Nathan were a PLEASURE to work with. I wanted a very specific custom chess board for my Dad with specific engraving and specs. and the throughput was 100%. I was a little bit nervous because I have never used this site; however, Cynthia was extremely professional and responded to all of my emails in under 24 hours. Anything that is custom, they will send proofs for approval. They told me the exact timelines and what to expect and everything was exactly as stated. I am an EXTREMELY detail oriented person, everything down to the wood grain direction was done perfectly. I can't thank them enough. I increased the board size and the price was extremely fair. They will work with you on everything, you just have to ask. I will DEFINITELY work with them again and am so grateful for what they made for my dad and I. Thank you so much Cynthia & Nathan

For Charles' engagement ring box5.0Working with Nathan from Three Trees Workshop was excellent. Nathan was very professional and gave his ideas, thoughts, and suggestions on my project to help me get exactly what I wanted. He kept in touch with me throughout the entire project and answered all my questions. If I ever have another project that I need done, I will defiantly contact him for help. I absolutely am thrilled and happy with how the project turned out. I couldn't have asked for a better turn out. I had an idea as to what I wanted, A custom made ring box, to propose with. I had already had the dimensions and designs that I wanted. Nathan helped me and asked questions so that I was able to get exactly what I wanted. And with his professionalism and knowledge, he was able to help me work out the fine details and get the box designed perfectly.
