Hand-Carved Wood Veteran Shadow Box

$450.00

The shadow box is primarily a display case designed to honor a veteran's military service. Unlike a simple picture frame, its depth—or "shadow"—allows for the secure display of three-dimensional objects like medals, challenge coins, ribbons, and rank insignia, creating a powerful visual narrative of their achievements

Materials and Craftsmanship

  • Wood Type: Typically made from high-quality, durable hardwoods like Oak, Cherry, Walnut, or Mahogany. The choice of wood contributes to the overall aesthetic and longevity.

  • Hand-Carved Details: This is the defining feature. The carving elevates the piece from a simple box to a work of art. Common hand-carved elements include:

    • Emblems: Carved replicas of service emblems (e.g., Army Star, Navy Anchor, Air Force Star, Marine Corps Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, Coast Guard Shield).

    • Flags: Detailed carving of the U.S. Flag (often folded in a triangular style) or a waving flag motif.

    • Inscriptions: Engraved or carved names, dates of service, or short, meaningful quotes (e.g., "Duty, Honor, Country").
