Etherton Hardwoods is home to the, "World Famous Wooden Flags". USMC Veteran Owned Business - Featuring Rustic Wood American Flags that have a Raised Grain and Carved Stars. We have developed a proprietary process where we can Raise the Grain of the wood, then we slow burn the face. This allows us to char the peaks of the Grain but not the Valleys or the low parts. We call this the, Etherton Woodworking Process™. This is our top of the line wood flag. First the wood is slow charred. Then it’s carefully hand rubbed to bring out the natural color of the wood grain. Next, we meticulously raise the grain (this is when the magic happens). The texture of the wood becomes multi-dimensional and the colors fall into place on the wood as it rises up through the char. At the completion of this slow handcrafted process, the wood is then naturally RESISTANT to Water and Insects. There are ancient buildings throughout the world that used this technique and they are many hundreds of years old….yet they still look as though they were built yesterday. There is no other Wooden American Flag in the world that knows how to do this process, but Etherton Hardwoods™. Each star is hand carved, and it is charred prior to assembly for a timeless finish. Things of quality have no fear of time. This flag is made by hand to ensure it will last for generations. There are no other Wooden American Flags that are anything like what we do. Hands down, the Rustic Wood Flag that you purchase from Etherton Hardwoods™ is the finest Wood Flag in the World, period! This is American Flag Artwork that you will be proud to display as the centerpiece of your Home Decor. Proudly Made in the USA by the Great American Worker.
