 The sign maker

Sand Carved Wood Signs 
The designs are created on a computer and then cut out on thick rubber stencils which are applied to the wood. The letters are then sand blasted out and painted. Once dry, the rubber is removed and the timber recieves a final processing and the edges are routered. At least three coats of oil are then applied.

Oak House Name Plates & Larger SignsOak House Name Plates & Larger Signs
This is by far the most popular timber we use. 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.
Cherry House SignsCherry House Signs
This lovely timber reddens when exposed to sunlight and the colour improves with age.
Douglas Fir - Ideal for large SignsDouglas Fir - Ideal for large Signs
Douglas Fir 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.
Iroko Name PlateIroko Name Plate
Iroko is similar to teak in appearance and is imported from West Africa. It is an extremely dense and stable timber which is naturally oily and therefore highly durable and ideal for external signs. It is a timber which can be left untreated.
Sapele SignsSapele Signs
Its rich, lustrous, and variable reddish-brown color give it a mahogany-like appearance. However unlike most mahoganies, Sapele has substantially less movement in service. It is also even harder than oak.
Rustic Timber SlicesRustic Timber Slices
Rustic timber slices make interesting house signs. Each piece of timber is different so each sign is individual. The bark is left on and the top surface is varnished. They are made in three sizes
Hand Painted RusticsHand Painted Rustics
These rustic timber slices are individually hand painted - no two signs are the same. You will have a house sign that is unique. Flowers can be added at no extra cost.
Red Cedar - Ideal for large wooden signsRed Cedar - Ideal for large wooden signs
Cedar has a high tannin content producing excellent weathering properties. The timber also has a very short grain resulting in minimal checking and warping. Extremely durable for many years of use. The timber can be oiled for a rich finish or left untreated to weather to a beautiful silver grey colour.
