"WHAT TO GET THE HUSBAND OF 18 YEARS AND WHO NEEDS NOTHING"?  Well, I can honestly say Whispered Images is the answer.  They came along just in time to save my husband from receiving gifts that he didn't need or more of the same old things.  They took my ideas and turned them into a very unique Christmas Present and a cherished Birthday Present.   The teak wooden sign was engraved with the name of his newly purchased sailboat.  They helped to personalize it with nautical themes and all of our dock friends want one too.   The engraved man's valet was created from a variety of beautiful rich tone woods and the sailor's compass rose was an added enhancement. So thank you Whispered Images for giving me the satisfaction of surprising a wonderful husband with two unforgettable gifts.  I can't wait to surprise the next loved one with one of your creations.

Project Details

The sign was made from 4/4 solid teak with stainless steel eyelets.  The sailboat and compass rose images were custom designed and the lettering font was selected based on the Sheila's original request.   It was finished with several coats of Tung Oil.  The mitered box used as a covered valet is made from walnut with a padauk and maple accent.  The top is made from river birch specifically chosen for the grain pattern reminiscent of an old world nautical map.  The box was finished with General Finishes Arm-R-Seal because the tung oil brings out the colors in the wood and the urethane provides a hard, long-lasting protective seal to keep it looking like new.
