How Our Unique
Wood Plaques are Made

Every Bite-Me Security plaque is hand made from start to finish. The basic process begins with cutting each shield from a sheet of high quality Oak Veneer. Wood shields are then sanded to size and the edges routed to give them a beveled look. A keyhole slot (for wall hanging) is then cut into the back of the plaque. This is followed by buffing of the edges and the application of wood stain. After the stain dries, several coats of marine-grade urethane with UV protection are applied to the back of the plaque. Following all of this preparation, the design you ordered is output on parchment-look paper and expertly affixed to the plaque. At this point, another coat of urethane is applied - this time to the front of the plaque. After it dries, the plaque is lightly sanded and wiped down. These steps are repeated several more times, until the plaque has a rich, gloss finish. Tight quality control standards are maintained during every stage of this process to assure the plaque you receive will not only meet, but exceed your expectations.

Finally, any hardware option you chose - large brass hook with decorative medallions or metal yard post - are attached to the plaque prior to packing and shipment. Every plaque we make comes ready-to-display with no additional assembly required - whether it will be hung on your wall or placed outdoors.
