 Unlike most modern day signs with boring square cut edges, these unique rustic timber signs are hand carved around the edge, adding character.  The letters are carved deep into the timber using a router then painted black.- Other colors can be used - Just ask Andrew.
Here's some getting carved with the file and rasp.  More pics below.

RUSTIC SIGNS
MADE TO ORDER THEN POSTED EXPRESS TO YOU!
Is there someone you know with a new house, shed or bar? Even outdoor BBQ settings can be an ideal place to add character or personalise by adding a hand made wood sign carved and weathered unlike any other signs available. People are delighted to know it was carved just for them!

A personalised wood sign or country style sign makes a great gift idea for a new house, shed, workshop, property or bar.

BAR SIGNS
Indoor timber bar signs look great when printed in old English font.
Personalized rustic wooden signs make anyones bar look great & adds so much character to the area. If you know someone who loves their bar then you simply must have a personal sign made for them. Don't be afraid to ask for a strange or weird word for your wood sign, I've had many requests for unique signs and am more than happy to help.

Get a personal gift that will be remembered by your loved ones for many years to come

WHY CHOOSE A HAND CARVED RUSTIC WOOD SIGN? The character of a timber sign will actually improve with age, they catch people's eyes & people love to read them. 

Most modern day signs are made by machine these days and lack character of natural wood. These signs stand out in a world of boring machine made objects, you'll be glad you ordered such a unique gift.

To have something custom made with care takes time.

My outdoor timber signs are made from Western red cedar - a timber known for its extreme long life outdoors and anti rot characteristics.

Most other sign makers will use fake cheap timber which will rot faster than real Cedar. They also use chemical spray on poly finish instead of natural oils.  Spray on finishes are much quicker to apply but will not last as long once the water penetrates the top layer. Oil finishes soak into the timber and will nourish the fibers, the water will bead off the surface like a ducks back. It also enhances the grain and provides a beautiful color.

I refuse to take shortcuts in the timber industry simply to cut costs, I believe in traditional natural methods, if you're after a cheap bargain please look elsewhere.

There is usually at least a 2-3 week waiting list for my signs.

Designer & maker of fine boxes and signs


SYMBOLS & HOUSE NUMBERS
Also available - Wood signs for toilets & common symbols such as Disabled, Phone, Pay Here, Enter, Exit, Directional Arrows etc.  Let your imagination run wild!




TIMBER LETTER BOXES
Here's a Large wooden Letter Box I made for a rural property, it was designed to match a Large sign that I also made for the front entrance of the property (Two Mac's Fruits)
The letter 40 is carved into the Timber using the same font chosen on the sign



LARGE CARVED WOOD SIGNS - Custom made
Great for rural properties or large blocks, this one was designed to hang from chain over a driveway entrance.

Chunky & Thick Timber crafted with character to suit your needs. Large signs are made using a different technique and require thicker timber and deeper letters, they are priced on an individual basis according to size - Contact Andrew for a free quote

Custom made sign shapes, house numbers, direction arrows
Anything is possible, let your imagination run wild, if you provide me with a basic outline I should be able to trace it into the timber (some pictures may not be suitable)
