Oak is a beautiful timber, it is hard, heavy and durable. For large oak signs we use quarter sawn timber for increased stability. Its main disadvantage is that it must be maintained - if water creeps in behind the oil or varnished finish the grain will blacken.
The farm sign to the above left has been made using signs from our standard oak range. The farm name is carved in 6 inch high oak. The information signs below it are made in 4 inch oak. 3"x3" softwood posts have beem used and the smaller signs are hung by chains. The main sign has been screwed to the posts but could also be morticed in.
The sign to the right is 36" x 18" with a shaped top. It has been morticed into 3"x 3"oak posts Oak Signs with Posts and Brackets |
