A family of six, serving the Lord with our hands and our hearts.
Who We Are
We are a family of six living in a small town, doing our best to walk with the Lord and build something that matters — together, in His name.
Roots & Arrows started with a simple conviction: that the words people need to hear most are the ones they walk past every single day. So we started putting those words on wood and sending them out into the world.
We are trying to be faithful. Every piece we make is made with care, with prayer, and with genuine joy — because doing this work in the name of Jesus Christ is something we do not take for granted.
Watching this family business grow, watching our kids be part of something built on faith rather than fear — that fills us with a gratitude we cannot fully put into words. We are just a small town family with a goal, and that goal is to glorify God in everything we make.
The words on our products are words we live by. If something we made ends up in your home, we pray it becomes a daily reminder of whose you are. That is why we do this. That is what makes it worth doing.
How We Finish Our Work
We do not stain or paint our pieces. Stain muddies the engraving. Paint hides the wood. Neither honors the material. So we don't use them.
Every piece leaves our shop with either a mineral oil finish — a natural food-safe oil that brings out the grain and sharpens the laser engraving contrast — or a clear coat finish for pieces that need more protection, like relief carvings and wall art. The wood stays exactly what it is. We just help it last.
Col 3:23 — Whatever we make, we make it as unto the Lord.
The words on our products are words we stand behind. No compromise.
Honest pricing. Honest materials. Honest people.
We use what we have — reclaimed wood, scraps, good tools — and waste nothing.
