Intricate, Customizable Design
Our carvings are known for their intricate details, bringing each family's history to life. Select from several base models, each with its own unique charm. Personalize the design with your family name on the banner and choose items for the shield. Some designs also support a second banner for the family motto and a crest above the helmet.

Materials & Craft
We use locally sourced lumber from Central Illinois. Each piece is designed, CNC carved, hand-sanded, and finished to highlight the wood’s natural character. Popular hardwoods include walnut, white oak, and cherry. Finish: all-natural beeswax for a rich, warm sheen and wood-safe protection. Due to the nature of real wood, grain and tone will vary—making every crest one-of-a-kind.

Personalization

• Banner text (surname) and optional motto

• Shield elements (animals, crosses, tools, towers, etc.)

• Optional crest above the helmet (when supported by the base model)
  A simple spelling/layout confirmation is included to ensure everything is just right.

Display & Care

• Ready to hang with a sturdy sawtooth hanger installed on the back

• Best for indoor display away from direct heat/humidity

• Lightly dust with a dry cloth—no harsh cleaners

Proof & Reference
If you have a heraldic reference you love, feel free to share it. We’ll adapt the design language to your chosen base model while preserving clarity and carve depth.
