Our Featured Woodwork
This American flag isn't printed, stenciled, or stained onto a single board. It's built one strip at a time from solid maple, cherry, and walnut, then hand-carved into a sweeping, wind-blown wave that gives it real depth and movement on the wall.
Every stripe starts as an individual strip of hardwood, cut, arranged, and glued together so the light maple and rich cherry alternate perfectly across all thirteen stripes. The star field is its own build: fifty individual stars are cut into a solid walnut panel, then each one is hand-poured with white epoxy and left to cure before being sanded flush and smooth. Only once both of those pieces are glued, cured, and joined into a single flat panel does the real transformation begin. That flat panel is carved and machined into the flag's signature wave, a slow, deliberate process that shapes the rise and fall of each stripe while keeping the grain and color lines crisp and unbroken. From there it's sanded through multiple grits by hand and finished to bring out the natural warmth of the wood and protect it for years of display.
Start to finish, a single flag takes between 8 and 16 hours of hands-on shop time, not counting the separate cure time the epoxy stars need before they can be sanded and finished. It's a genuine multi-day build, not something run off a template in an afternoon, and that time shows in the finished piece: the wave feels natural, the stripes stay sharp through every curve, and the stars catch the light. Finished size is 22.5 inches wide by 11.75 inches tall, ready to hang as a statement piece in an entryway, office, or living room.
This is a handcrafted heirloom piece from a small, veteran-owned family woodworking shop, made to be handed down, not replaced. A meaningful gift for a homecoming, a retirement, a promotion, Veterans Day, the Fourth of July, or anyone who wants a flag on their wall with real craftsmanship behind it.
Materials: solid maple and cherry (stripes), solid walnut (star field) with hand-poured white epoxy stars; hand-carved wave contour.
Cut, serve, and display, all with one board. This generously sized cutting board is crafted from solid maple and finished with a hand-poured, two-tone green epoxy inlay that traces a graceful branch of leaves across one corner. Because every epoxy pour cures a little differently, no two boards ever come out exactly alike, so what you're getting is a genuinely one-of-a-kind piece for your kitchen or table.
Smooth, rounded edges and real heft make it as comfortable to use as it is beautiful to look at, and it's just as happy standing upright on a stand as decor between uses as it is laid flat for slicing cheese and charcuterie. It brings warmth and natural texture to any kitchen counter, dining table, or open shelf.
A stunning housewarming, wedding, or hostess gift, and an equally great treat to keep for yourself.
Materials: solid maple hardwood; two-color hand-poured epoxy inlay.
Bring the shoreline home with you. Each coaster is cut from genuine black slate, 4" x 4", with a clean engraved icon in the corner, the kind of detail that looks handmade because it is.
This set features six coastal favorites: a leaping dolphin, swaying palm trees, a classic sailboat, a seahorse, a sea turtle, and a shark. Together they bring a laid-back beach house feel to any kitchen or bar cart, whether you’re decorating a coastal getaway, furnishing a lake house, or just missing the ocean.
Like our other slate coaster collections, these are sold individually, so you can build a set that’s entirely your own: pick your six favorites, stick with the full set as shown, or mix in pieces from our other themed lines for something truly custom.
These also make a great host or housewarming gift, and we’re happy to add a company logo on request for businesses looking for something a little different than the usual branded giveaway.
Price listed is for a set of four. Contact us for sets of six and custom orders.

A hanging slate plaque measuring 11 3/4 inches by 7 inches, engraved (no paint, no ink, the lettering is cut directly into the stone itself) and finished with a natural jute rope hanger so it’s ready to display the moment it arrives. The raw, uneven edge of the slate gives it genuine stone character, and since it’s laser engraved rather than printed, the detail stays crisp and will never fade, chip, or wear off with handling.
The piece shown reads “Home, the story of who we are, a collection of all the things we love,” but that’s just a starting point. Every sign we make can be fully customized, your own wording, a family name, a special date, a favorite verse or quote, whatever you want the slate to say. Just tell us what you’re picturing and we’ll engrave it exactly that way.
It’s a quiet, meaningful piece rather than a loud one, the kind of sign that works just as well hanging by a front door, propped on an entry table, or tucked into a gallery wall of family photos. The custom option makes it an especially easy gift for a housewarming, a wedding, a new baby, or anyone who wants something on their wall that was made to say exactly what they want it to say.
Bring a little bit of the Rockies to the table. Each coaster is cut from genuine black slate, 4" x 4", with a single icon engraved in the lower right corner, the kind of detail that looks handmade because it is.
Choose from a growing lineup of Colorado-inspired icons: Bigfoot, the Colorado flag “C,” an elk, a mountain range, a downhill skier, a snowboarder, a log cabin, a fisherman, a hot air balloon, a hiker, a buffalo, a compass framed by mountains, whitewater rafters, a mountain biker, and a bear. We’re adding new designs regularly, so there’s always a reason to come back for more.
Mix and match your favorites in a set of 4 or 6, or buy a single coaster on its own. Each one is sold separately in our shop, so you can build a set that’s entirely your own, one for every member of the family, every sport you love, or every corner of the state that means something to you.
These also make a great client or employee gift for local businesses. We can swap in your company logo on request, so a set becomes a practical, good-looking way to say thank you without it feeling like a throwaway promo item.
Pricing listed below is for a set of 4.

Why Choose Us
Maple Trails, LLC is a family-owned Colorado woodworking shop run by Dan and Elizabeth in Colorado Springs, Colorado. For more than twenty years, woodworking has been both their livelihood and their way to unwind after Dan’s military deployments, turning stress into something tangible, beautiful, and built to last.
What began as a way to relax and make a few projects for friends and family quickly grew into a full woodworking business as word spread and more people started asking for custom pieces. Over the years, Dan and Elizabeth have created everything from custom cabinets and furniture to awards, plaques, signs, games, cutting boards, holiday décor, and one-of-a-kind handmade wood gifts for all occasions. Today, Maple Trails focuses on custom furniture and Colorado woodworking for customers across the United States, with nationwide shipping and local pickup available in the Colorado Springs area.
At Maple Trails, “if you can dream it, we’ll find a way to make it” is more than a slogan—it’s how every project starts. The shop works with a wide range of woods and materials, including maple, walnut, poplar, hickory, cherry, purpleheart, padauk, and pine, choosing the right combination to make each project truly unique. Many pieces are handcrafted start to finish, and the team also uses CNC, laser engraving, and 3D printing to add precise details, personalization, and modern touches where they matter most.
Every item that leaves the shop is inspected carefully and must meet Dan and Elizabeth’s high standards for quality and durability before it’s shipped or picked up. As a small-batch, made-to-order workshop, Maple Trails can handle everything from one-of-a-kind gifts to larger bulk orders while still paying close attention to the details that make each piece special. The heart behind the work is simple: craftsmanship, family, and faith, with a strong commitment to made-in-USA quality and support for local communities, veterans, and first responders.
Maple Trails is truly a family business—three kids and a dog are part of the everyday life of the shop. Everyone has a role, from sweeping and sanding to staining, design, and programming, and working together has become both a blessing and a way for Dan to move forward from his military background and deployment experiences. Along the way, Dan and Elizabeth have loved teaching their own kids and other young people about woodworking, creativity, and having an entrepreneurial mindset. Much of their growth has come through Facebook Marketplace and word of mouth, and they’re grateful for every customer who trusts them to bring a vision to life with a custom, handcrafted piece that will be enjoyed for years to come.
