Description
A Stunning handmade solid oak open book grave marker plaque on post
If you are looking for a woodland burial marker that is that bitter extra special, this oak book-style grave marker is ideal.
This book-shaped wooden memorial marker is on another level. A beautiful green burial marker made to perfection right here in our UK workshop with considerable care and attention to detail. We use this expression a lot when it comes to making high-quality personalised wooden memorial plaques on a post, there is very little else to describe the lengths we go to make these grave markers special. If you are after something more interesting than a regular square edge flat personalised oak plaque – this really is something else!
Finish:
As with everything we do here at Make Me Something Special, we have spent the time researching and sourcing the perfect materials available. Each oak memorial plaque is handmade from one piece of Air Dried Superior Grade English Oak. This Timber is perfectly seasoned and adjusted for outdoor conditions. You can choose to leave your plaque untreated, finished in Superior Danish Oil or our low maintenance Diamond Coating finish. If you choose untreated your product will weather to a pale silver more quickly. Danish Oil will not only treat the timber but also bring out the timbers natural colour. This has a UV filter to protect the timber but it does require regular upkeep. 2 – 4 times a year to keep it looking its best. Diamond Coating is more glossy but a lot more harder wearing and only requires a top up once a year, however this depends on the weather and where the product is placed. We would recommend twice a year if you want full protection. Top up kits can be ordered over the phone or on our website
Personalisation:
Our beautiful wooden grave markers come with a personalised engraving of your choice up to 100 characters included, however, if this is not enough, you have the option to make this up to 200 characters if more inscription is needed. You have complete control over how you want the layout to be and we can provide a preview once you have placed your order for you to approve before we begin carving. We also make bespoke grave markers, if you would like to discuss having a grave maker made please do not hesitate to contact us – we will be happy to assist you.
Carved Motifs:
Here at our Surrey Hills workshop, we have over 3000 carvings on file, so when it comes to a carved motif to go alongside your engraved lettering on your memorial plaque, we pretty much have everything you could think of. If not we have bespoke service to create and design a carving of your choice. We can even copy designs and digital artworks and logos.
