Engraved Plaque Size
Usually the plaque is made larger than the tree stake.
However in this instance it was made 10mm smaller which gave the effect of having a border around it.
Alternatively we can fix a corian backing board to the tree stake and the plaque is mounted onto that.
This looks very smart indeed with the slate coloured corian.
Wrought Iron fixings are all made for us by a local award winning blacksmith - they are galvanised and then painted black.
The following colours are also available for an extra £5 -
Moss green, Light green, Light grey, Dark grey , Ultra Marine Blue, F&B Stiff-Key Blue

Wooden Posts with Angled Tops
This is a simple but effective idea to mount any of the wooden plaques or wooden backing boards on.
Suitable as grave markers for no metal woodland burials. Plaques longer than 350mm will need two posts.
The top of a oak or iroko wood post is cut at a 45 degree angle and the wooden memorial plaque is fixed to it with wooden dowels. The oak post is normally treated with a commercial satin varnish, the iroko posts with Devon Oil. However we can leave untreated if preferred.
