The standard unit is done in an ash wood finished in michaels cherry or acres cherry. This is a stopper is priced with a stand. I have been putting the name of the soldier on the front of the base along with the rank of the soldier. One person wanted the year of his service on the base also. This can all be done for the perfect gift. These can be turned with any wood, and the head is a little bigger because of the size of the token. They are not ball markers, they are military tokens. These make great gifts for the returning soldier or the soldier celebrating a unit reunion.
