One of the biggest changes I’ve made in my games recently is transitioning from marbles to painted metal pegs — and it’s completely transformed the experience.

Each peg is hand painted to match the board design, then sealed and finished to help prevent chipping so they stay looking beautiful game after game. They’re lighter than marbles, which makes shipping easier and travelling with your board a breeze, and if a piece ever goes missing it’s simple to replace.

Using pegs also gives me more freedom with sizing. Boards can now be made larger or smaller depending on how you like to play, and every piece can be customized — names, designs, colour palettes, all chosen by you.

I’m officially taking orders for the new year and would love to bring your vision to life. If you’ve been dreaming about a truly personal board for your family, now is the time.

When “thank you” deserves to be more than a plaque.

Retirements. Safety milestones. Years of service. Team accomplishments.
These moments matter — and the way we recognize them matters too.

I create custom signs and games that feature your business logo and message, but more importantly, they carry intention, care, and craftsmanship. These pieces aren’t churned out in a factory. They’re carved, painted, and finished by hand — made to reflect the individual being honoured, not just the achievement.

This solid walnut, live-edge retirement sign for Northland Forestry Products Ltd. is one of those pieces I’ll never forget creating. It wasn’t just about the wood — it was about celebrating a person and the legacy they leave behind. From the selection of the wood grain, to custom mixing the paint colours, it is one of a kind; just like the employee it is celebrating.

If you have a retirement, safety accomplishment, or special recognition coming up, I’d love to help you create something meaningful.
