A fouled anchor carved in relief, chain wrapping the shank and looping round the crown, USN across the stock, and a banner across the flukes with the name, years of service and rate. This is a deep three dimensional carve, not an engraving — the chain links stand proud of the anchor and each one is cut separately, which is most of the machine time. Finished in a warm walnut stain with the recesses left darker so the relief reads from across a room. About 16 inches tall and 12 wide. Hangs from a keyhole slot in the back. Made for a chief's pinning, a retirement or a shadow box wall. Tell me the name, the years and the rate when you order.

How it's made

Stock gets milled flat, cut to size, then carved or engraved on the CNC or the laser depending on what the piece needs. Edges are eased by hand, sanded to 220, and finished food-safe where it matters.

Made by one person

Every piece is made in my workshop on Florida's Space Coast. I mill the stock, cut it, sand it and finish it myself, and I check it before it goes in the box.
