Wooden House Signs using Air Dried English Oak
The English oak has a majesty all of its own, with wonderful variations in grain, texture and colour and often small pin knots and burrs are an attractive feature. It is a heavy wood and is strong and durable. Providing it is maintained it will last a lifetime.

Lettering
The letters are first cut into thick rubber stencils which are applied to the Oak. The design is then carved out by sandblasting and the letters can be painted black, bright blue, navy blue or green. We can use most common fonts - for a selection CLICK HERE For some other fonts and ideas have a look at the Gallery page.
Letter size is normally adjusted to suit the sign, but if you have something particular in mind - just let us know.
