PeterFlags - Handmade Wooden Flags
"Bought the Union Flag in the middle size for our hallway. The cedar grain runs through the stripes and every edge is smooth to the touch. Knowing one man cut and sanded it himself makes it feel less like decor and more like something inherited."
What's it made from?
What's it made from?
Solid cedar — chosen board by board for its grain. Nothing printed, nothing veneered. The colour is worked into the wood rather than painted over it, so it still reads as real timber up close.
Will mine look like the photo?
Will mine look like the photo?
Close, but never identical. Every board carries its own grain, so the pattern running through your flag belongs to your piece alone. The design, proportions and finish stay the same across all of them.
Indoors or outdoors?
Indoors or outdoors?
Indoors only. The finish is built for living rooms, hallways, offices and mantels. Rain, damp and direct sun will lift the colour and open the grain over time.

The cedar grain runs right through the stripes. Photos genuinely don't do it justice.
James H.
Bought the Red Dragon for my father. He went quiet for a second, which says it all.
Ffion M.
You can feel the hand-sanding. Every edge is smooth. Nothing about it feels factory.
Daniel R.
Went with the 20 inch above the fireplace. It anchors the whole room now.
Sarah W.
The Saltire in cedar is something else. Warm wood, deep colour, no cheap gloss.
Callum B.
Third one I've bought. Two were gifts. Both people asked me where I found it.
Michael T.
It smells faintly of cedar when you get close. Small thing, but I love it.

Meet Peter
Peter spent a lifetime in service with the United States Army. Discipline, patience, and doing a job properly the first time — that was the standard, and it never left him.
Woodworking started as something to do with his hands on quiet weekends. A few offcuts of cedar, an old set of chisels, and a wall that needed something on it. One flag became two. Two became a workshop.
Every flag that leaves that workshop is cut, burned, stained and sanded by Peter himself. No production line, no batch of a thousand sitting in a warehouse. Just one man, one piece of cedar, and the same standard he carried for a career.

Built For The Wall You Walk Past Every Day
Most wall art is printed, packed and forgotten. This is solid cedar, shaped by hand, made to be the piece people ask you about.
Solid Cedar
Real cedar boards — never veneer, never printed panel.
Made By Hand
Cut, burned, stained and sanded one piece at a time.
Veteran Made
Built in Peter's own workshop, by Peter.
Ready To Hang
Finished for indoor walls, mantels and offices.
How Every Flag Is Made
Four stages, all done by hand. It's why no two pieces come out identical — and why that's the point.
Select The Cedar
Boards are chosen by grain, not by batch. The pattern in the wood decides where it ends up.
Cut & Shape
Each stripe and shape is cut and fitted by hand, then squared and dry-laid before anything is fixed.
Burn & Stain
Colour is worked into the grain rather than painted over it, so the wood still reads as wood.
Sand & Finish
Sanded through progressive grits by hand until every edge is smooth, then sealed for indoor display.

Everything You Might Ask
Solid cedar. It's chosen for its grain, its warmth and the way it takes colour without losing the look of real wood. Nothing is printed onto a panel and nothing is veneered.
Indoor only. The finish is made for living rooms, offices, hallways and mantels. Leaving one exposed to rain, direct sun or damp will damage the wood over time.
Close, but not identical — and that's deliberate. Every board has its own grain, so the pattern running through your flag is unique to your piece. The design, proportions and finish stay consistent.
There's no single spec. Each flag is cut by hand from the board that suits it, so thickness varies slightly piece to piece. All three sizes are substantial enough to read as solid wood rather than a thin plaque.
Three: 12" × 8" for shelves, desks and smaller wall spaces, 16" × 10.5" as the most popular middle option, and 20" × 10.5" when you want it to be the focal point of the room.
The back is finished flat, so a pair of standard wall hooks or a picture-hanging strip rated for the weight will hold it securely. Many people simply stand the smaller size on a shelf or mantel instead.
Dust it with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid household sprays, polishes and anything wet — cedar doesn't need them, and they'll dull the finish. Keep it out of direct sunlight and it will hold its colour for years.
Peter does. Every one. He's a US Army veteran who turned a weekend habit into a workshop, and he still cuts, burns, stains and sands each flag himself.
On Real Walls
Photos sent in by people who bought one. Drag, swipe or use the arrows.
Hung it in the living room and it changed the whole wall. The cedar is warmer in person than any photo shows.

Ordered the Union Flag in the middle size. The grain running through the stripes is the detail that got me.

Gift for my brother-in-law. He's not an easy man to impress and he put it up the same afternoon.

The Red Dragon in cedar is stunning. Every visitor asks about it, and I enjoy telling them who made it.
Gareth P.

Went for the largest size above the mantel. It has real presence — feels like furniture, not decoration.
Claire D.

Small size on my office shelf. Solid, weighty, properly sanded. You can tell a person made this.
Nathan S.

Bought the Saltire after seeing one at a friend's house. Mine has completely different grain and I love that.

Second one now. Knowing a veteran made it by hand mattered to us more than we expected it to.

Hallway wall, first thing you see coming in. Photographs badly, looks incredible in person.
