Custom wood signs locally?

Hey all. In talking with Garett tonight about the cabin my dad bought of my grandpas estate I realized something I have thought of but haven't looked into so I'm looking to CR for help.

 

My grandpa, my father, my brother, and I built a little 1 bedroom cabin outside of Logan in the Hocking Hills. It never got finished for various reasons. Papaw passed last August and dad bought the cabin off the estate as I mentioned. The interior is all knotty pine, top to bottom. It's got a deck on 3 sides. It's beautiful and finally getting finished the way papaw wanted it to be. I know he'd be in tears if he saw his vision become reality for his little getaway.

 

I'd like to surpirse dad and mom and get a wood sign to hang out front that says, "In Memory of Chief Master Sgt. William Nelson, Air Force EOD". Is there anyone locally who does something like this?

 

Thanks. Means a lot to us.

i can get it made on a cnc, looks best when done with hdf, but could be done on hardwood.

 

Not even sure what that means. LOL.

 

Basic wood sign? Marquetry? "Log Cabin" twig writing? Wood Burning? Routered out?

Not 100% sure. Lemme see if I can find some pics I like. I know that will help get my point across. I want it pretty basic/woodsy looking but pay homage to his military background. The man deserves more than I can ever express in this sign or a tattoo but I'm sure gonna try.

 

Here's some I like.

I guess I don't really know what I want, and that doesn't help anyone. Hard to start without a definite idea. :) Sorry.
