Made in Trussville, Alabama
🔨 Built to order · ~4 week build time · I build every flag myself
Same flag, smaller canvas. This is the 17-inch version of my handcrafted wood American flag — built the exact same way as the 3-footer, just sized to sit on a shelf, a desk, a mantel, or a bookcase, or to hang where a full-size flag would be too much. Every stripe is individually cut from solid pine and hand-stained, the stars are stenciled, and the whole thing is torch-finished and sealed by hand. It's the opposite of a mass-produced, printed trinket — a real wood flag, small enough to sit anywhere and solid enough to keep for decades. A favorite for desks, offices, and folks who want the craftsmanship without the wall space.

Who the Small Flag Is For
The 17-inch flag was made for the spots a full-size flag can't go — a desk, a bookshelf, an office wall, a workbench. Solid-wood craftsmanship at a size that fits your day.
Apartments, dorms, tight walls, or a mantel that needs one right piece. If you love the look of a handmade wood flag but don't have three feet of wall to give it, this is the one.
An easy way to give someone real handcrafted work — a veteran, a graduate, a new homeowner — without a big wall commitment. Many folks pair it with the 3-foot flag for two rooms.

How Your Flag Gets Built
I pick lumber with good grain and character — pieces that will look right once they're finished into a small wood American flag.
Every stripe is individually cut to size and sanded smooth. Small doesn't mean rushed — the detail work is the same as the big flag.
Stripes are hand-stained, the blue field is stained, and the stars are stenciled. Same hands, same care, smaller canvas.
Torch-finished, sealed, inspected, packaged, and shipped free straight to your door — usually around 4 weeks from your order.
Common Questions
How big is the 17-inch wood flag?
It's 17 inches wide — about the size of a large book across. Small enough to sit on a shelf, a desk, a mantel, or a bookcase, or hang on a wall where a full 3-foot flag would be too much. Same handmade build as the big one, just scaled down.
Is it the same quality as the 3-foot flag?
Yes. Same solid pine, same hand-stained stripes, same stenciled stars, same torch-and-seal finish. I build the small one the same way I build the big one — it's just a smaller canvas. See the 3-foot flag →
Is shipping really free?
Yes. $199 is the full price — flag, packaging, and delivery to your door anywhere in the US. No surprises at checkout.
How long until I get it?
About 4 weeks. I build every flag myself from scratch, so there's a build time before it ships. I'll reach out if anything changes on your timeline.
