...about my journey

Welcome to Rustic Reverence Designs, where I craft heartfelt tributes to the rural spirit and divine inspiration. Based in Nebraska, I operate as a one-man workshop, pouring my creativity into laser-engraved ceramic plates, rustic wooden signs, and a few larger wooden art pieces that celebrate the beauty of farm, ranch, lake homes. My journey began when I laser crafted some "newborn monthly milestones" to display for my new granddaughter. After my daughters saw what I created they said, "You should make things you could sell them!" So, with the nudge of my daughters, praying on it, my love for woodworking and laser engraving, inspiration by the hard work of Midwest farmers and ranchers and a deep reverence for God’s hand in all of it, I started Rustic Reverence Designs. Using natural materials like maple, oak, and walnut, each piece reflects the charm of Faith, animals, and the wilderness, honoring the heartland’s heritage with timeless rustic style. I’m proud to serve farmers, ranchers, Christian communities and anyone across the Midwest and Rocky Mountains, to hopefully bring a touch of the farm and serenity to your life. Every creation is made with care, and I invite you to join me in celebrating this growing passion—explore my collection, share in the reverence for handmade beauty, and let me know if you’d like something custom or not currently available to bring your vision to life!

Sincere thanks,

John
