Wooden Signs - Oak - click here
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 Signs - click here
This lovely timber reddens when exposed to sunlight and the colour improves with age.

Driftwood Effect - click here
These are very unusual signs and really do show the beauty of the grain. The letters are proud and the background is sand blasted away leaving the driftwood effect.

Rustic Timber Slices - click here
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  - 16" and 13" for house signs and 7" for house numbers.

Hand Painted Rustics - click here
These rustic timber slices are individually hand painted - no two signs are the same. You will have a house sign that is unique.

Douglas Fir - click here
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.

Sapele- click here
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.

Iroko - click here
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.

Red Cedar - click here
Cedar has a high tannin content producing excellent weathering characterics. 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.
