Looking for a vendor to help make the 2 walnut bases for this trophy.  I can get the walnut MO plaque, the black acrylic piece and the gold columns.  But need the bases.  The bottom base is 18" wide x 6" deep.  Any help is appreciated!  Thank you!

Off hand, I'd check with Big Sky Woodworking, Kasdorf, and Colorado Heirloom.  Big Sky has done a large walnut piece for me before.

I wouldn't be surprised if the awards were made in-house or by Rhodes Wood in St. Louis up near the airport.  Being in Fenton, you have to be surrounded by woodworkers who could easily make these for you.  If you need references you could reach out to the American Woodworking Academy located about two and a half miles from your shop.

Another option is to contact the St Louis Woodworkers Guild.   They have over a hundred members that they can reach out to for assisting you.

The current president is Brian Ellison Sr. (314) 651-7699   and he can probably assist you.

Amelia,  this is another good option.  Woodworking guilds like this will often do the project and the funds they receive will be used to pay their operating expenses and/or go towards the charities they often contribute to.  A few years ago, the guild I belong to created a mace I designed for a regional university.  (I don't do any lathe work)  The university paid them thousands of dollars for this mace and stand.  That money was then used to create many other items that were donated to charitable auctions in the community.
