Medals
Our medals are Woodles—made from wood to reduce metal waste and help keep landfills lighter.
🏅 At Ridgeway Woodworks, we believe that every piece of wood has a purpose, and its purpose is definitely not to end up in a landfill! Many of our products are made of reclaimed wood, which is wood previously used in a variety of different applications, that we harvest, process, and turn into amazing items. Almost 100% of the wood that goes through our reclamation process stays out of the landfill - even the scraps and shavings.
