Celebrate the Route 66 Centennial with a hand-inlaid masterpiece. 1926–2026.
Most souvenirs end up in a drawer, but this is a true heirloom. Handcrafted in our Central Illinois workshop, these premium Black Walnut and Maple inlay plaques are designed to commemorate your 2026 journey with the precision of a master craftsman and the heart of a classic car enthusiast.

As a '55 Chevy owner myself, I built these for the road-trippers who value authenticity. No plywood, no stains, and no cheap prints—just solid, character-rich hardwood and genuine maple.
Why Choose a C&B Woodworking Commemorative?

Solid Black Walnut: Every board is hand-selected for grain and color. We use multi-board construction for maximum structural stability (no warping).
Genuine Maple Inlays: The Route 66 shield and text aren't just engraved; they are precisely inlaid with maple for a stunning, high-contrast finish you can feel.

Curated Sizing: To ensure the design looks perfectly balanced on your wall, we offer two sizes. Our cleaner layouts (Shield/Traveler) use a 9" x 12" board, while our detailed car layouts use our grand 11" x 15" heirloom board.

Customization: Select your family name options for personalized engraving. If you would like to have a custom car engraving, contact us. We make this piece uniquely yours.

HOW TO ORDER:
Select Your Layout: Choose from our 5 tiers (Shield only up to the Full Heirloom).
Personalize: In the "Add your personalization" box, provide your Family Name exactly as it should appear.
Custom Car Photo: Feel free to contact us for a price for a custom car engraving.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Materials: Solid Black Walnut (Base), Solid Maple (Inlay).
Mounting: Pre-installed keyhole slot for easy, flush-to-wall mounting.
Finish: Hand-rubbed professional grade finish to protect the wood for decades.
Shipping: Securely packaged in a heavy-duty literature mailer to ensure it arrives in gallery condition.

Please note: Because we work with natural hardwoods, grain patterns and wood character will vary slightly between pieces. This ensures your commemorative plaque is a one-of-a-kind original.
