I’m playing around with with some different ideas. What do you think of these? Could be personalized to any city, state and zip code. I think they would look great in cedar too.

There’s something about a message like this that just makes you pause for a second.

This one is engraved into solid maple and turned out absolutely beautiful.

If this speaks to you (or someone you know), send me a message ❤️

Sometimes the simplest words mean the most.

This new engraved hardwood sign features the quote:

"If you're gonna love somebody, hold 'em as long and as strong and close as you can… til you can't."

Every sign is made right here in our Mount Vernon family workshop and finished with our homemade Brenda’s Butter to bring out the beauty of the natural wood grain.

We made this one thinking about the people in our lives that matter most.

If this quote speaks to you, we'd love to hear why in the comments ❤️

Just finished a new piece in the shop today.

“Some see a weed… some see a wish.”

It’s funny how perspective changes everything.

This one is engraved on solid cherry hardwood and turned out really nice. The grain on this board especially caught my eye.

Curious what everyone thinks of this one?
