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.


Font - Lucida Calligraphy Italic


Font - Dauphin

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 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 put it on the order form or send us your ideas as a sketch, image or word document.

Please note that all our oak over 9" high is at least 1inch (25mm) thick. It is also the only timber we are able to obtain quarter sawn and although more expensive, this makes it extremely stable.

The smallest size we can sandblast  is 25mm (1 inch)  high lettering.  Using this size text you can fit 12 UPPER CASE letters and spaces to 12 inches 300mm or 18 lower case letters and spaces to 12 inches  300m You will also need to allow some space either side of the wording.   For more help with sizing - CLICK HERE
