Liberty Collection
The Liberty Collection features the boldest expression of the Rusty Chisel American flag. Built from full-thickness lumber with deeper sculpted waves and greater dimensionality, these pieces are designed to become the centerpiece of the room they call home.
Every Liberty piece is handcrafted from quality lumber and built one at a time in my workshop. The added depth highlights the natural character of the wood while creating dramatic light and shadow that bring the flag to life.
Like every Rusty Chisel piece, the Liberty Collection isn’t built on an assembly line. From flag style and finish to optional lighting and personalized details, I’ll work with you to create a piece that’s unmistakably yours while preserving the design and craftsmanship that make the Liberty Collection unique.

Built one at a time in my shop, the Liberty Series takes the movement and character of the Heritage Series flags to a more substantial scale. At approximately 19” tall x 37” wide and 3 inches thick, the additional depth allows for deeper, more dramatic carving throughout the flag, creating pronounced peaks, valleys, shadows, and contours that change as you move around the piece. The result is a commanding wall piece designed to draw attention from across the room while revealing even more detail up close.
Each stripe and star is individually carved by hand to capture the natural movement of an American flag in the wind. The greater material depth gives me more freedom to shape each wave, creating a sculpted quality that distinguishes the Liberty Series from the thinner Heritage Series. After carving. the wood is burned and brushd to emphasize its grain and texture before receiving a weathered finish that complements the movement of the piece.
Because every Liberty flag is individually carved and finished, the contours, grain patterns, texture, and finish naturally vary. No two flags will ever be exactly alike.
Customization is available. Colors, personalization, and other design details can be discussed before the build begins, allowing your Liberty Series flag to be created specifically for you and where it will be displayed.
Built by hand. Built one at a time. Built to be yours.
Inspired by the earliest days of the American story. The Liberty Series Betsy Ross Flag combines historic symbolism with the deep, scriptural carving that defines the Liberty Series. Built from approximately 3” thick material, each flag is individually shaped to create dramatic folds, sweeping contours, and deep shadows that give the impression of a flag caught in motion.
The traditional 13-star Besty Ross arrangement surrounds a hand-carved 1776, while “We the People” is carved across the lower stripes, a tribute to the founding ideals that have shaped the nation for generations. Rather than simply applying the design to a flat surface, the lettering follows the peaks and valleys of the flag, becoming part of the movement of the piece itself.
Each stripe is individually carved, burned, brushed, and finished to emphasize the natural grain and weathered character of the wood. The stars, numbers, and lettering are also carved by hand, preserving the subtle variations that make each flag unmistakably one of a kind.
Lake every Liberty Series flag, no tow Betsy Ross flags will have exactly the same contours, grain, carving, or finish. Those differences aren’t defects to be eliminated, they are part of what makes each piece individually built rather than reproduced.
