About Us

 

At Oar & Oak Tribute Designs, we are dedicated to honoring heritage and craftsmanship through our meticulously handcrafted wooden pieces. Founded in 2025 by Thomas Dishman, a veteran with deep roots in Cookeville, TN our mission is to create products that resonate with personal significance and aesthetic appeal. Our collection includes items such as the engraved "1776 Memory Box" and the elegant "Tennessee State Display," each designed to preserve cherished memories and showcase pride in one's heritage.

Our commitment to quality is evident in every piece we create. We utilize sustainably sourced materials, ensuring that our products not only reflect beauty but also respect for the environment. Studies indicate that handcrafted items can enhance emotional well-being, with 78% of consumers expressing a preference for artisanal products over mass-produced alternatives. This statistic underscores our belief in the value of craftsmanship and the stories that each piece can tell.

As a veteran-owned business, we understand the importance of legacy and memory. Our designs are inspired by the rich history of our community and the values instilled in us through military service. We take pride in our work and strive to provide our customers with items that are not only functional but also meaningful. At Oar & Oak, we invite you to explore our collection and find a piece that resonates with your own story.
