U.S. Coast Guard Oceania District Official Seal – Handcrafted Mahogany Wall & Podium Plaques
Honoring the Guardians of the Pacific with Museum-Quality Artistry
Celebrate the vital mission of the U.S. Coast Guard Oceania District with a tribute worthy of its vast area of responsibility. Formerly known as District 14, the Oceania District oversees maritime safety and security across Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. This official seal plaque is designed specifically for command centers, wardrooms, retirement presentations, and official government podiums. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our plaques are individually hand-carved to capture the dignity and history of the Coast Guard’s presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
Premium Solid Mahogany: The Foundation of Excellence
Every U.S.C.G. Oceania District plaque begins with a single piece of kiln-dried, solid mahogany. We strictly avoid the use of pressed wood, veneers, or synthetic composites found in lower-quality substitutes. Mahogany is chosen for its legendary durability, rich grain, and resistance to warping, ensuring that your plaque retains its beauty in both humid coastal environments and climate-controlled offices. The wood is hand-selected and treated to provide a deep, lustrous finish that naturally enhances the prestige of the official Oceania District seal.
True 3D Bas-Relief Carving: Depth You Can Feel
The defining feature of this product is the master-level bas-relief technique used to render the Oceania District emblem. While other manufacturers often rely on flat painting or printed decals, our artisans carve the Diamond Head Lighthouse, the surrounding ocean elements, and the official lettering directly into the wood. This subtractive sculpting process creates genuine three-dimensional depth, where the anchor, shield, and scrollwork physically rise from the background. The result is a tactile, dynamic piece of art where light and shadow play across the surface, highlighting intricate details that flat plaques simply cannot replicate.
Hand-Painted for Official Accuracy and Distinction
Following the bas-relief carving, each plaque is meticulously hand-painted by professional artists. We utilize high-grade, fade-resistant enamels color-matched to the official U.S. Coast Guard heraldry specifications. The vivid blues, whites, and golds are applied with precision brushes to ensure clean lines and distinct separation between the relief elements. A final clear coat of furniture-grade lacquer seals the artwork, protecting the paint and wood from dust, UV light, and handling, preserving the vibrant colors for generations of service members to admire.
Versatile Mounting for Walls and Podiums
Whether intended for a grand entrance display or a portable podium for change-of-command ceremonies, this plaque is engineered for versatility.
-
Wall Mount: Features a recessed keyhole slot integrated into the back for flush, secure hanging on drywall, concrete, or wood paneling.
-
Podium Mount: Available with optional heavy-duty studs or velcro attachments for temporary but stable adherence to lecture podiums during official press briefings and events.
Customization and Government Procurement
We specialize in custom orders for U.S. Coast Guard units, cutters, and sectors operating within the Oceania District. We can modify the text to include specific command names (e.g., Sector Guam, Air Station Barbers Point) or personalize the plaque for individual retirement awards with names, ranks, and dates of service. Our workshop is equipped to handle government purchase orders and bulk requests for unit-wide distribution. Invest in a legacy piece that reflects the honor, respect, and devotion to duty that defines the U.S. Coast Guard Oceania District.
