About this Product
I found the pattern for this plaque on our son’s wedding anniversary, and I of course had to make one for him and his wife. This could be a wedding OR anniversary gift. Please specify the date needed.• I will cut the plaque from ¾” oak (or anther wood, if you prefer)
• The plaque will sit flat on a desk, shelf, mantel, etc. or it can be hung on a wall
• The plaque measures 4 ½” wide by 7 ¾” high and ¾” thick
The plaque pictured was cut from oak, but I usually have walnut, cherry, and mahogany in stock and I could make the plaque from any of these.
I could also make the plaque in unfinished poplar if you would like to paint it. Poplar takes paint nicely, and the plaque will come sanded and ready to paint.

Meet the Maker
I am a U.S. Army Vietnam veteran, and have an MBA with a marketing concentration. I worked in retail management, then outside sales in the HVAC and refrigeration industry. I drove a limo for a year, then went to work at a large for-profit university. I worked as an admissions officer, then moved into student finance. I was also an adjunct faculty member, teaching courses in marketing. I retired in January 2020 and now devote as many hours as I wish per week to my woodworking business.
My wife of 50 years and I live in a rural area about 50 miles southwest of Chicago. Our two grandchildren live in Georgia so we do not see them as often as we would like. Woodworking began as a hobby, then I started selling at local craft shows in this area area and later moved to online sales. I enjoy making wooden toys and home decor items and have shipped over 1,000 orders all over the U.S. and even as far away as Australia. All my products are made from sustainable hardwoods such as poplar, oak, maple, and walnut which I purchase locally.
