Douglas Fir is ideal for large signs on farms, estates and woodlands.
It has a reddish brown to orange colour with a straight grain and is characterized by exceptional strength, hardness and durability. It is not only very tough but also water resistant, which makes it useful in exposed situations where maintainence is difficult.

Lettering
The letters are first cut into thick rubber stencils which are applied to the timber. The design is then carved out by sand blasting and the letters are painted black, bright blue, navy blue or green. We have most of the common fonts - for a good selection CLICK HERE
