Trophies - chisels
Chisel trophies started as awards for school Design technology students, but other people have found a use for them as retirement presents and even inspiration in the film industry. Some use them (hopefully with some friendly sarcasm) as awards to "chisellers" - slang for a cheat or fraud.
I have no standard designs for trophies, though any new commission could be based on those below.
All trophies are designed for purpose. Hence it is difficult to give prices for any particular trophy.
A suggested guide price range is £30 - £40, with price dependent on type of wood and length of inscription. More information is given on the chisel trophy details page.
