Hand Carved Wood Plaques for Donor Recognition & Dedications

Calvo Studio creates and carves the highest quality hand carved donor recognition plaques. We hand cut lettering in beautiful hardwoods such as Mahogany, Quartersawn White Qak, Maple or Alder to name a few. Our studio designs plaques in both classical styles as well as imaginative contemporary designs. During the design stages of each carved plaque we can offer the possiblities of adding ornamental details found in the surrounding architecture and incorporate them into the plaque design. We give special attention to elegant finishes that enchance the natural warmth of wood. hand carved medallion in white oak The results are striking; crisp, elegant lettering and the natural warmth of wood combine to make an impressive eye-catching statement.

Carved Signs and Quarterboards

Calvo Studio does an array of creative wood carved signs and quarterboards. Some of the carved wood sign designs are part graphics and part sculpture, others follow in the quarterboards style found on Nantucket or Cape Cod. We tend to use native woods as a material because it is the most durable for our climate in New England. Carved signs can have either painted or gold leafed lettering. All said, the sky is the limit as far as creativity goes with the design of your sign or quarterboard.
