Middle Tennessee
I make these by hand from old Tennessee barnwood. Every star is hand-cut, no stencils. No two are the same. Started with one for my own mantle and it just kind of grew from there.
The Wood
All my wood is locally sourced barnwood from right here in middle Tennessee. Most of these barns stood for a hundred years before they came down. The red you see in the stripes? That's not paint. That's the natural color of the barn after a century of sun and rain. You really can't fake it. I've tried explaining it to people but honestly you just have to pick up a board and feel it yourself.
Every crack, every nail hole, every bit of grain is real. This wood spent a hundred years doing its job and now it gets to be something new.
No two flags ever come out the same because no two boards are the same. That's just how it goes when you let the wood be what it is.
What I Build
This is what most folks are looking for. Goes above the mantle, behind the desk, out on the porch. I make three sizes and every single star is hand-cut. Each one is signed on the back.
A lot of these end up as gifts. Retirements, memorials, just because somebody knows the right person for it. I've had folks come back and tell me the person they gave it to got choked up. That's about the best thing I could hear.
That's my truck up in the header. I built a flag for the bed floor and people kept asking about it, so now I do those too. I've done bar tops, deck pieces, memorial walls. If you've got an idea I haven't heard yet, I'd love to figure it out.
Same barnwood, same hand-cut work. The Tennessee state flag for folks who love where they live. These are real popular around here for pretty obvious reasons.
I've got flags hanging in a doctor's office in Franklin, a bar downtown Nashville, a gun shop in Smyrna, and on the sides of barns all over middle Tennessee. If you need something sized for your space, I can make it happen.
“Made one for my mantle. A buddy asked for one. Then his neighbor. It just kind of kept going.”

Let's Talk
Find Me
Most folks who find me got sent here by somebody who already has one of my flags. That's the way I like it. But if you want to see the work in person, here's where I set up.
at The Feed Mill — Nolansville, TN
This is home base. Come out on market days and see them up close. If one catches your eye, don't wait on it. They go pretty quick.
Hartsville, TN
Saturdays. Good people, good market. If you've got a custom idea you want to talk through, come find me.
About
I'm a Navy veteran. Spent nine years as a Seabee — Construction Battalion. We built whatever the country needed, wherever they sent us. When I got out, I guess my hands didn't really get the memo.
I made a flag for my own house. Just wanted something on the wall that meant something to me. A buddy saw it and asked if I'd make him one. Then a neighbor wanted one. Then a shop owner. I never set out to start a business, I just kept saying yes.
I work out of my shop by myself. I pick the wood, I cut the stars, I sign the back. It's honest work and I'm real proud of what comes out of here. I don't want to be some big operation. I just want to keep building good flags for good people.
