I know I said I wasn't going to sell anything on my site, but I was recently presented with an opportunity that I just couldn't pass up.
Sheila and John Polhemus, of JP Woodworks in Waldorf, Maryland, have closed out their craft show items of wooden personalized keychain/keyring fobs, nameplates/deskplates and character cut-outs, so that they could focus on designing and selling woodworking patterns and templates. You can contact them for their latest scrollsaw and fretwork pattern catalog at the link above.
The following wooden character cut-outs are currently available in limited quantities in either Mahogany or Spalted Mahogany and in rare instances, Walnut. Those that are pre-mounted are set on a Walnut base.
Since many of these character cut-outs are very similar, please place your character order by ITEM NUMBER to avoid any confusion. You can click on the picture or link below to view the enlargement that shows the ITEM NUMBER of the character you wish to include on your nameplate, or that you want to purchase separately.

The following is a list of names that are available WITHOUT characters. You may order these plain or have a character of your choice attached. These are the ones that I will personally finish and attach to a base for you.
Plain Name Listing (No Attached Characters)
The following is a list of names that are available WITH PRE-MOUNTED characters, and the character attached to each name is listed. Let me know if you would like me to REMOVE the character for you. You will not be able to tell it was done. I regret that I am UNABLE TO REPLACE a character with a different one. It would be very noticeable due to the way these were originally created.
Pre-Mounted Names with Attached Character Listing
These sturdy wooden keyring fobs are in very limited quantities, most are one of a kind. Cut out of Mahogany and Spalted Mahogany, the names you see here are the ONLY names currently available at this time:
