My wife and I just bought our first home and we're looking to purchase a wooden name plaque. Something with our family name carved into it with our names and our children's names on it. I know a few Christmas seasons ago, there was a kiosk in the mall that made those types of signs. Anyone know of an individual or company in the area that makes them?

Awards & More or similar store might be able to do those

Google is your friend. I just search "wooden plaques for homes" and got a ton of hits.

I was hoping to use someone local.

I second Awards and More. They can do pretty much anything!
