A family workshop in Wisconsin

We make meaningful wood pieces for family homes

The Broad Oak started as a way to keep steady hands busy and hearts grounded. Today our most-loved pieces are custom redwood coaster sets, plus reclaimed-wood flags and more handcrafted keepsakes.

Frequently asked questions

  • How fast do orders ship?

    Most coaster and flag orders leave our Wisconsin shop in 3-5 business days. You will get tracking as soon as your package is scanned by the carrier.

  • Can I personalize coaster sets with names or logos?

    Yes. We regularly engrave family names, wedding dates, business marks, and gift messages. Send your details on Etsy and we will confirm layout before engraving.

    Each set includes four custom redwood coasters and a matching holder. They are cut for consistency, engraved for detail, and hand-finished with oil for daily use.

    Absolutely. Coaster sets are one of our most popular housewarming and closing gifts, and we can handle larger batches for teams, clients, or events.
