Heritage Collection
The Heritage Collection reflects the foundation of Rusty Chisel Woodworks, with timeless designs inspired by American craftsmanship and built for everyday living.
From handcrafted American flags to functional furniture and home decor, each piece is designed to bring warmth, character, and lasting quality into your home. Built one at a time every project showcases the natural beauty of the wood and the details that make handcrafted work worth owning.
Every Heritage Collection piece begins with one of my signature designs, then becomes uniquely yours through the choices we make along the way. Whether it’s selecting a finish, choosing a flag style, or adding meaningful details, your piece is built to reflect your home and your story while staying true to the craftsmanship that defines Rusty Chisel Woodworks.

Built one at a time in my shop, the Heritage Series Large Flag measures approximately 19” tall x 37” wide x 1.5” thick, giving it a substantial presence without overwhelming the space around it. Each stripe and star is individually carved to capture the natural movement of an American flag in the wind, creating depth, shadows nd subtle variations throughout the piece. Designed to be more than wall decor, it becomes a natural talking point, a piece that draws attention from across the room and rewards a closer look at the craftsmanship behind it.
After carving, I burn and brush the wood to bring out the grain and add texture before applying a weathered finish that compliments the depth of the waves. The result is a substantial American flag with the character of something made by hand - not reproduces on a production line.
Because I build each flag individually, no two will ever be exactly alike. Wood grain, carving and finish will naturally vary from piece to piece.
Customization is available. If you’re looking for different dimensions, colors, personalization, or another variation, contact me and we can develop the piece together.
Built by hand. Built one at a time. Built to be yours.
Built one at a time in my shop, the Heritage Series Small Framed Flag begins with a solid wood flag measuring approximately 9.75” tall x 18.5” wide and 1.5” deep. The finished flag is surrounded by a custom built solid wood frame approximately 1.5” wide, adding depth and a refined presentation without talking away from the character of the carving. Its smaller scale makes it an ideal focal point for a home, office, entryway, or other space where a larger flag may be too dominant.
Each stripe and star is individually carved to capture the natural movement of an American flag in the wind. After carving, the wood is burned and brushed to emphasize the grain and texture before receiving its weathered finish. The flag is then set within its handcrafted frame, creating separation and shadow that further accentuated the contours of the carving.
Because every flag and frame is built, carved, and finished individually, variations in wood grain, carving, and finish ensure that two pieces will ever be exactly the alike.
Customization is available. Frame wood, finish, colors, personalization, and other details can be discussed before your flag is built, allowing the finished piece to complement both its intended space and the person receiving it.
