Rustic Wooden American Flags

Flag Materials:

The wood I use for my flags is Pine wood making the flag strong and lightweight. It also has a very distinct and highly attractive grain.

The stain for the Flag is Minwax water base wood stain, which really pronounces the grain in the pine and gives it a rich look.

For polyurethane I use Helmsmen Spar urethane. This poly gives a beautiful glow to my flags, and provides an excellent protective finish.

On the back of the flag I use two eye hook screws, and a sturdy rope. The rope blends well with the flag giving it a more rustic look.

The materials holding all of this together are strips of wood, weather/water proof wood glue, and brad nails.

Assembly of the Flag:

The first step of making my flags is to cut and shape the pine wood into strips of wood. 

Once cut and shaped I evenly torch each strip of wood pronouncing the grain. 

After the Flag is torched I stain the Flag with the decided colors. 

Next, I assemble the flag with four back braces, glued and brad nailed to the back, making a very sturdy build. 

Following, I torch the back of the flag just too add to its rustic flair. 

Once assembled I than hand-carve the flag which I believe is the most important step in making the flag, being hand-carved really gives a flag character.

I then poly the entire flag with heavy duty polyurethane sealing the flag, creating a smooth surface, and providing a beautiful natural glow.

And finally, I tie sturdy rope between two eye hook screws attached to the back of the flag for secure mounting.

Flag packaging (if needed):

Each flag is wrapped tight in bubble wrap then sealed firmly in a cardboard box for safe travels. So you can rest easy knowing your flag is packed securely!

Notice: 

Each flag will be different in its own unique style such as grain, holes, knots, etc.. Flags height may vary slightly within .25 of an inch. Also, all Flags will have my initials, year, and flag number carved small on the back of the flag.  And as we all know nothing lasts forever, over time everything deteriorates, but I do the best to assure that these Flags will be long-lasting for you.
