Broken isn't bad. It's beautiful.

A favorite book quote about the beauty of broken things

Many of the most beautiful things I've ever seen have come from things that were once broken. They are rebuilt, sometimes through fire and physical working with the materials until they become something new - What they were supposed to be. They don't look like they once did. That is kind of the point.

Why we made it

A friend needed a reminder that almost everything broken can be built into something amazing!

Laser engraving on a 12-by-12-inch square basswood panel depicting Officer Boyd standing confidently in front of Bluebonnet Elementary while children walk toward the school behind him. He wears his school deputy uniform with a large superhero-style cape flowing behind him. Text at the bottom reads, “Officer Boyd — Their School. Their Safety. Their Hero.”

Their School. Their Safety. Their Hero.

My son asked me to create something for a wonderful man who embodies “A Father’s Heart.” This 12×12 basswood engraving celebrates the quiet strength, kindness, and constant vigilance of a school deputy—and the cape is a nod to the way the children under his care see him.
