Sign Styles

Sign styles I make

These are the 3 main styles of signs I make, although I have made many different sign shapes over the years these are the most popular edge styles.

Enjoy browsing the different sign edge styles below.

Rustic Edge Signs

The most popular style sign ordered is the rustic edge.
I shape and carve the edges freehand for a more natural appeal.

Straight Edge Signs

The straight edge style is a simple beveled edge (chamfer) and is available in a range of shapes & sizes as shown below.

Bevel (PSF)

I make this edge style with a vintage Australian Made hand plane.
I can also make classic sign shapes or use vintage stains as shown in the Mancave sign below.

This is a classic sign shape made from Pine, stained with Walnut or English Mahogany, and comes with an easy-to-hang hemp rope fitted to the top edge of the sign through holes as shown.
