Leaf-Shaped Walnut Photocast Plaque With Gold Or Silvertone Plate

A walnut photocast plaque is a hardwood display board fitted with a cast metal presentation plate that carries etched artwork. Organizations order it when a name, image, or tribute needs to stay readable on a wall for years, where a framed paper certificate would fade or curl. The wood board handles mounting and display, and the metal plate carries all of the artwork.

A photocast plaque puts the artwork on a separate cast metal plate, while a laser engraved plaque burns the marking into the wood board itself. Metal etching reproduces photographs and fine line work that wood grain tends to blur. Choose the walnut photocast plaque when the design includes a portrait, a crest, or small lettering, and choose direct wood engraving for plain block text.

Yes, metal etching reproduces photographs, logos, crests, signatures, and tribute text on the gold or silvertone plate. Send the highest resolution file you have, because etching can only hold the detail that exists in the source art. All artwork sits on the metal plate, not on the wood board, so plan the layout inside the plate area for the size you order.

Buyers order this style for employee service anniversaries, hall of fame inductions, sponsor and donor recognition at fundraising banquets, first responder commendations, chamber of commerce honors, and building groundbreaking ceremonies. The leaf shape suits programs with a nature, growth, or legacy theme. Groups that recognize several people at once often order matching plaques in one size for a consistent wall.

Production takes 5 working days, and that count starts the day you approve the etching proof, not the day you place the order. Artwork that needs redrawing, or a photo supplied at low resolution, adds days before the clock starts. Shipping transit time is separate from the 5 production days, so book a ceremony date with both windows in mind.

Wipe both the piano finish board and the metal plate with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, ammonia based glass sprays, and metal polish, which dull the bright raised areas of the etching and can haze the wood finish. Hang the plaque away from direct sunlight and damp exterior walls, since both shorten the life of a wood finish.

No safety or environmental certification is published for this plaque. The piece is an indoor wood and metal display item with no food contact, no electrical parts, and no child use claim, so certification programs written for drinkware, toys, or apparel do not apply to it. Ask us for a materials statement if your procurement team needs documentation on file.

Pricing is quoted per plaque, and this item has no fixed published price. Plaque size drives the number first, since the four options run from 7 x 9 inches up to 10.5 x 13 inches, followed by order quantity, artwork complexity, and shipping. Send us the size and the count you need, and we return a per unit price before you commit to artwork.
