Testimonial by Kelli Kelly – I cannot tell you how absolutely thrilled we are with our custom military box! The folks at Relic Wood were amazing to work with, from the design phase through to the finished product. My husband was moved by his retirement box and everyone who has seen it has been impressed with the detail and quality of work. I am insistent in my recommendations to others – I don’t think you can find an equivalent product made with as much care and attention to detail!

First time customer and couldn’t be happier for the Large Keepsake Box I received today. Beautiful wood design including name plate attached on front. This company really does run on simplicity and so efficient. Ordered Monday and received two days later, packed for shipping with such great care, not one dent. I have always loved North Carolina and this is why! Anybody wanting a quality keepsake box, Relic Wood is your go to!

The service and turn around time was incredibly fast. The chest turned out so beautiful for the time it took and the price. It came in a VERY protected packaging. Very pleased

To say that I was very pleased with my shadow box AND the entire purchase experience is an understatement. The Relic Wood staff were engaged and responsive from the moment I began the process of ordering until the design was finalized. They ensured that every minute detail I requested was included in the final product and did not proceed without my consent. In fact, I took a week or two to look for a specific image I wanted in the box and they remained patient with me throughout. Once I got my stuff together they made the box VERY QUICKLY but with great care/craftsmanship. The box looked GREAT and I honestly regret not adding more images to the outside due to an unwarranted fear it would look bad. My husband retired from the military as well and received ed absolutely nothing to honor his service. I think I am going to order a box for him for his service. My shadow box/chest turned out amazing. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone who wants a keepsake to honor their service or that of someone who has served to use this company. You will not regret it.

Your products were the best gift given or received and we are so happy they will now be in our families lives forever .. I can’t thank you enough and the quality was superior to anything that could have bought off a shelf!
Testimonial by Steve Vaquera – The Motor Unit presented Tony Garcia with his retirement gift today. We started a tradition taken from the US Military, of giving a custom designed footlocker that can hold all of his keepsakes; as well as his helmet, boots, and uniform. It’s nice enough to have in your living room, and some day his great grandkids can open it to see the very uniform their great Grandad wore. The picture on the front is laser etched onto the wood, it has a brass name plate, and a sliding shelf. I placed badges, patches, and pins from both his service to the PD, as well as his military service onto the inside lid, to dress it up; like a shadow box. He served 32 years, I figured, if you committed that much time to the PD, you should get something really nice. People get plaques, and that’s nice, but eventually they end up in a drawer or in the garage. Congrats, Tony, you earned it!
Testimonial by Sheila McNeil – I ordered a retirement keepsake box for our beloved CW4, who is closing out his military career after over 40 years of service. I felt a Relic Wood box would be a worthy gift for him, and let me say, your product did not disappoint. Working with Rosie on the artistic layout of the box was a pleasure. She was helpful and prompt with replies. Communication regarding production and shipping was regular and spot on. I am very happy with the process you have in ordering a custom relic wood product. It is easy to upload pictures and your method of communication with the artistic designers is simple. I find that refreshing, as computers frustrate me sometimes.
When the box arrived, I was very pleased! Relic Wood does beautiful work. The construction is meticulous, and the way the photos come through the wood grain is just gorgeous. I could not wait to bring the box into work and show it to the group who participated in the decision to purchase a Relic Wood keepsake and who helped in the selection of the photos. They were equally as impressed with the keepsake box as I was!
We had his retirement party last night, and he was truly touched with the keepsake box. Everyone at the party complimented it, and I happily endorse your company to all my colleagues. Our CW4 has had a positive impact on many individuals over the years, and I truly feel that his keepsake box is on par with the man and his career.
I am so happy I stumbled upon your products online. Beautiful craftsmanship! Wonderful company!
Testimonial by Maria Mitter – I ordered a custom US military memory box for my brother to honor our dad who passed unexpectedly in a April. Our father served in Vietnam. He never spoke about his service, but we know he was proud that he served his country. My brother absolutely loved the memory box. It is beyond beautiful, well made and the pictures are perfect. I would highly recommend any of your products and already have! I have attached a pic when I gave my brother the box on Father’s Day.
