Handmade Materials: wood, Baltic birch, birch, walnut, oak, red oak, cherry wood, maple, stain, paint, ash, pine, spruce description This is our personal view of the great "Molon Labe" phrase engraved in the shape of the United States (bottom 48). All of our works are handmade by veterans and/or veterans’ families. Hand-designed and finished, we only use hand-sourced high-quality wood to ensure the highest quality finished product every time. The wood we use for each plaque is better than traditional pine, spruce, and fir. With changes in temperature and humidity, the pine wood may deform over time. With several times stronger. Our proprietary hybrid transparent jacket provides excellent gloss and is very durable.
