Specialising in Rustic timber signs, (you can select the rustic option when ordering). Colour variation can be due to natural timber colour variation. NZ Pine & Victorian Ash / Tasmanian Oak is a bit lighter in colour. .
All my outdoor signs have tinted decking oil for added UV protection.
- Rustic timber signs, some are scorched with flame across the surface and around the edges.
Just select the scorched option on the form when ordering. - Colour variation in photos is due to natural timber variation & also the angle of the sun in my backyard where the photo was taken.
- NZ Pine & Victorian Ash is usually a bit lighter in colour.
Cedar or Spotted Gum is best for outdoors - Pine won’t last as long outdoors, even if it’s treated pine.

FAQ
Q: How long does it take to make a custom wooden sign?
A: Each custom wooden sign is made to order, typically with a waiting list of 3-5 weeks. If you have an urgent request, I can sometimes expedite your order and send it via express post. However, it’s important to be fair to other customers who have already paid and been waiting for a few weeks. The signs are crafted in batches for efficiency, so you’ll need to wait until the current batch is made, packed, and posted before I can start on yours in the next batch.
Q: Can you get my order to me sooner?
A: Please let me know the required delivery date and the State you’re in when placing your order. I can sometimes rearrange my schedule to move your job up the list.
It’s important to inform me of any urgent needs when filling out the order form. However, keep in mind that each sign is custom-made to order, which takes time to ensure high-quality craftsmanship. If other customers who have already paid are ahead of you on the list, it’s unfair to delay their orders significantly.
For example, please avoid asking for numerous design revisions and then requesting expedited delivery to WA by this weekend for a special occasion. Proper planning and communication help ensure everyone receives their custom signs on time.
Q: How much do your signs cost?
A: Our signs are custom-made to order, so prices can vary. Please refer to the Sign Price Guide for detailed pricing information. Keep in mind that our signs aren’t cheap, especially if you want extras, intricate pictures that require editing, or large property or farm signs.
For example, our custom-made Cedar signs typically cost between $260-$340, depending on size and details such as engraved pictures, multiple lines of text, and different colours.
Q: What size wooden signs do you make?
A: The sizes vary as they are custom made and also the timbers I use are available in different widths but can be cut down to just about any size you require. The largest signs I do are usually 950mm x 300mm as the longest parcel I can post is 1m. Longer signs can be made but I will need to arrange delivery through courier or deliver myself if you’re in Victoria and happy to pay the extra costs. If you’re local you can also pick up your sign from my workshop when its finished :- This needs to be arranged prior as I don’t usually have visitors to my workshop. Please see the price-size guide for more info.
Q: Do you supply screws or chain and links for hanging the sign?
No, we don’t supply hardware, but we can supply predrilled holes for Screws or Screw Eyes if requested on the form.
For all hardware items such a chain or links please visit your local hardware store as there are many different options depending on where and how it is being hung.
SCREW EYES
Q: What are Screw Eyes?
They screw into the top edge for hanging your sign. (I fit them for you ready to hang)
Screw Eyes are optional, select silver, brass or black on the form, you can also remove them easily if you decide you don’t need them or choose a different way to hang your sign.
Zinc Plated Screw Eyes
View examples of screw eyes on the form and photos below.
Q: How do I pay for my custom wooden sign?
A: Once we’ve designed your sign and you’ve approved the example via email, your order will proceed. I’ll then send you an invoice through Square. We accept all payment methods. Alternatively, you can use the BSB and account number on the invoice to make a direct bank transfer, which is our preferred method.
Q: Do you make signs that last outdoors?
A: Yes of course. House Signs. Beach Shack Signs, Directional Signs and Bar Signs for outdoor entertaining areas, all these locations are Ideal places to add some rustic home décor with a unique personalised wooden plaque or sign. The best timber for outdoor wooden signs is Cedar by far! Or I can use a very hard wearing Australian Spotted Gum or Tasmanian Oak. The outdoor signs are treated with a high quality natural sustainable decking oil. The best I’ve found for on going protection of your sign. Order more oil through my shop if you wish to maintain your sign or just leave your sign to go gracefully grey over time – It will still be readable for many years to come.
Q: What fonts do you have for my sign?
I can do just about any font you like or if you’re unsure I’ll send you a list to have a look. Choose from a huge variety of fonts for your wooden sign, view my social media links to see more examples of wooden signs made recently and let me know which style you like.

Thank you

Hello Andrew,
The Dunwurkin sign arrived a half hour ago – I am absolutely thrilled with it – and have previewed it outside with the Sanctuary sign you crafted for me. Have attached updated photos.
I’m going to have to make myself wait until 5 Aug when hubby retires before it gets put back up. Best wishes and continued success
Regards Lyn McLernon – 30th May 2016

Andrew was a caring and thoughtful professional from start to finish. He intuitively understood what I was looking for and sensitively made some suggestions around design of signs for a special space for my husband. He responded to any queries promptly and went out of his way to investigate different options for us. Andrew was enthusiastic about the project. I was also very reassured by his ethical approach to business.

Hi Roger, Thanks for your question. The best way to get a quote is to fill in the wooden signs enquiry form (on this page further up) so that I can have all the details I need (style, timber selection, edge finish, indoor, outdoor etc) then I will reply with an accurate quote and font examples sent to your email – you can then decide if you wish to move ahead with the order.
If you want a rough idea of price I would estimate $280 – $300, for a custom made outdoor Cedar sign with two lines of text deep-carved and painted matt black, finished with Decking Oil – the highest durability for rain and UV exposure.
Cedar will last for many years outdoors even in the harshest conditions. Much longer than treated pine and most hardwoods.
I am interested in a sizeable piece of wood to be mounted on a couple of posts in my substantial garden as one approaches the stairs to my front door, not viewable from the street, and with the 8 letters lasered or burnt into the wood.
Hi Peter,
I should be able to help. I’m currently booking in jobs to be made in Feb. Please fill out the form on this page (if you scroll back up) so I can have all the details I need to work out a quote. Also please let me know roughly what size sign you’d like and the edge style by selecting the options on the form. Click here on this link and it should scroll you back up to the form section.
