Our Products
Every patch is laser cut from layered basswood, built up in raised sections, and made to order. Prices below are for standard sizes. Any rank or patch can be made up to about 10 inches, with price increasing by size. Larger pieces such as wall pieces and plaques are quoted separately.
Custom Cut Patch
Laser-cut layered basswood patch, standard size about 3.5 inches wide, with raised layered construction. I can customize almost any patch, any service, any unit. If I cannot find the design online, send a clean SVG or PNG file and I will work from that. Blurry image? I will try to clean it up, and if the software cannot, I will ask for a better picture before we start.
Shipping $5 for up to 5 patches, see shipping table below.
Epoxy Fill Add-On
A smooth, glossy epoxy fill over your patch for a finished, glass-like look and extra protection. Add it to any custom cut patch. Epoxy additions add about 2 days to turnaround.
Shipping $5 for up to 5 patches, see shipping table below.
Rank Insignia Set (1 inch)
Rank insignia sets at 1 inch wide. Holographic finish is $12 per set, plain blue and white is $10 per set. Any rank available, and larger sizes up to about 10 inches can be made with price increasing by size.
Shipping $5 for up to 5 patches, see shipping table below.
Custom Nose Art

2A5 Maintenance Badge
The Air Force Maintenance occupational badge, senior level, laser etched in straight natural wood. The falcon, modeled on the maintenance falcon at the National Cathedral, grips a bomb and a 21st century aircraft crossed in its talons, standing for the aircraft, munitions, and communications-electronics fields that keep jets in the air. The star above marks the senior badge, earned at the 7-level, and the olive wreath stands for the peace defended through professional maintenance. This is the crew chief badge, for the 2A5 aerospace maintenance folks who turn the wrenches. Add a clear gloss topcoat (+$1) for a sealed shine, shown in the gallery below. Other badge levels and career fields on request, just message me.

How Ordering Works
- Pick your product and check out with card (Stripe) or PayPal using the buttons above, or message me on Facebook to order.
- Orders are placed and paid first, then your patch is made.
- For custom designs, send a clean SVG or PNG if you have one. Custom tweaks, like leaving a section flat instead of raised, just need a quick back and forth on the design first.
- Message orders can also pay by Venmo, Cash App, or FB Pay. Message me and I will send the payment details.
Turnaround
Standard sized patches usually turn around the same day. Custom larger pieces, or adding the epoxy fill, add about 2 days. Larger pieces are quoted separately and may take longer.
Custom and Larger Pieces
Almost any patch can be customized, any service, any unit, up to about 10 inches. Bigger work like wall pieces and plaques is available too, quoted separately before you pay.
