Wooden
House Signs using 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, brown, red, purple, white, bright blue, navy blue or green. We can use most common
fonts - for

Letter size is normally adjusted
to suit the sign, but if you have something particular in mind
- just put it on the order form or send us your ideas as a sketch,
image or word document.
