My Newest Wood Signs, Wood Desk Plaques and Gifts
A little over a year ago, a good customer contacted me and asked if I could make a stand up plaque.
It seemed her son was heading off to college and for some reason they frown on the practice of drilling
holes in the wall to hang plaques. I told her I would see what I could do. It was not long after this
that another very good customer contacted me and requested a small plaque that might sit on a desk or
shelf. She was thinking of a large name plate like one often sees on desks.
One day I was stacking some cutoff pieces from the 3 inch flitches I use to re-saw materials for
boxes, when I noticed that several of these were 3″ x 3″ squares of lumber, too small for boxes and not
wide enough for a plaque. I wondered what would happen if I split one diagonally, resulting in two
triangle shaped pieces with the long face being about 4″ (Thank you Pythagoras). So here are little
4″ x 8″ inch desk plaques! I have made about a dozen of these for folks and they are really charming.
I place natural cork on the bottom, so as to not scratch the surface where they sit. Just about any
of my 6″ x 12″ plaques can be made into a desk plaque. Just imagine a Thoreau Plaque
or my Vast Sea Plaque
on a desk plaque. These are great for the office or a book shelf. 3d graphics can also be added to
these little keepsakes for a mere $10 as in the Serenity Plaque with 3d praying hand.
These plaques are $39.99.
