Excellent, fast service for a superior product. A great memento.
The craftsmanship is excellent and the ordering process was easy to follow. It is a perfect replica of my shield and makes for a great plaque to remember my years of service.
The retirement plaque you made was awesome. The detailing was extremely clear and the plaque was a perfect size. The epoxy under the letters and numbers was very well done, smooth and we are extremely happy with the final product! Thank you.. Highly recommended!!
Howard - I appreciate you taking the time to write such a nice review of our product. We are glad you are happy with your purchase!
I ordered this as a gift for retiring trooper, and what I received was amazing. Would definitely order from him again.!
I would highly recommend using Bird Dog Woodworks and laser design! I ordered a few Christmas gifts and they even added in some custom drink coasters. From the woodwork/ laser engraving to the customer service I couldn’t have been happier. Being I ordered around Christmas they were in touch with me every step of the way and made sure I got it all in time. A big thank you to Chris and Bird Dog woodworks for the amazing gifts and great customer service the work is exceptional!
