From Canadian Hands to Your Home: Why Craftsmanship Still Matters

Some things can’t be rushed, like a career in uniform, or a tribute built to honour it. True craftsmanship shows the moment you see it, and the moment you hold it. That’s why some displays become treasured heirlooms, while others fade from memory.

Craftsmanship as Legacy Preservation: Beyond Just a Display

Custom pieces from Beneath The Bark do more than hold items; they preserve stories and honour service. These heirlooms outlast trends and become treasured family keepsakes. Veterans and first responders find deep meaning in displays that tell their journeys.

Crafted pieces connect past sacrifices to future memories, turning displays into lasting tributes built with care and respect.

A police officer’s retirement display can become a family heirloom—carrying the badge number, rank, and crest into the next generation as a proud reminder of a life of service.

Custom-Crafted vs. Mass-Produced: The Difference Quality and Story Make

Mass-produced displays are made for speed, not for meaning. They often look cold, feel generic, and are quickly forgotten.

A Beneath the Bark display is different. Each one is custom-crafted with your story at the centre—badge number, rank, department crest, and details that mark your career. No template. No shortcuts. Just a tribute built with precision, care, and the pride of Canadian craftsmanship.

From Our Family to Yours: Built in Canada with Pride

At Beneath the Bark, you’re not buying from a factory; you’re working directly with a Canadian family business that understands the meaning of service.

Owner Mike Inch comes from a family deeply rooted in first responder and military life—retired firefighters, a Regimental Sergeant Major, police, and emergency response. That legacy shapes every display we create, from the premium hardwood we select to the crest we engrave.

When you choose us, you’re getting more than a custom display; you’re receiving a piece built with the same integrity, respect, and pride that have guided our family for generations.

Designed by Us, Made for You

Every Beneath the Bark display starts with a proven design, built for strength, style, and longevity, but it’s the details you choose that make it yours.

With our signature pieces, like the Big 90 Coin Display, you can:

• Add your name, badge number, or regimental number with precision engraving.
• Choose the crest or logo that represents your department, unit, or service branch, featured prominently in the centre.

These options allow you to create a display that’s uniquely yours, without the time or cost of a fully custom build.

Want something entirely different? We also take on select custom projects when the occasion calls for it.

Why These Details Matter

A display isn’t just a way to store coins, it’s a way to honour a career. Adding your badge number or department crest turns it from a piece of wood into a piece of your story.

Generic gifts can’t capture the pride, sacrifice, and history behind a life in uniform. A custom-crafted Beneath the Bark display is built to last for generations, so your service can be remembered long after the moment has passed.

Built to Last, Worth the Investment

A Beneath the Bark display isn’t an expense, it’s an heirloom. While cheaper options may need replacing, ours are built to last a lifetime and grow in meaning over the years. From day one, you’re part of the process, so there are no surprises, just the excitement of seeing your story take shape.

Your Legacy, Our Craft

Stories like yours deserve more than mass production. We’re here to honour them with care, precision, and respect. Please don’t wait until the moment has passed; start customizing your display today and let us build something worthy of your service.
