What People Say About us
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What types of wood can I choose from?
We offer a selection of high-quality hardwoods to ensure your award has the right look and feel for your organization. Our most popular options include the rich, reddish tones of cherry and the deep, sophisticated grain of walnut. Both are chosen for their durability and the beautiful, high-contrast results they produce when engraved, making them a perfect choice for prestigious corporate recognition.
How do you ensure the engraving on the wood is clear?
We use state-of-the-art laser engraving technology that is specifically calibrated for wood. This process allows us to burn fine details, sharp text, and complex logos into the surface of the plaque with incredible precision. The result is a clean, dark engraving that stands out beautifully against the natural grain of the wood, ensuring your message of recognition is both elegant and easy to read.
Are your custom wood plaques made from solid wood?
Yes, all of our custom wood plaques are made from solid cuts of premium hardwood, never cheap veneers or composite materials with a laminate finish. You can feel the quality in the weight and see it in the authentic grain of every plaque we make. This commitment to using genuine materials is central to what we do, and it’s why our awards, forged with respect in our South Carolina facility, serve as such lasting symbols of achievement.
What is the delivery time for a personalized wood plaque?
Our production process is streamlined to get your order to you quickly. While the exact time depends on the specific design and quantity, we are significantly faster than most competitors because we handle all manufacturing and engraving in-house. If you have an urgent need for an awards ceremony, please let us know. We can prioritize your order and offer overnight shipping to meet even the tightest deadlines.
