This simple farm sign has been made using signs from our 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 been used and the smaller signs are hung by chains. The main sign has been screwed to the posts instead of being morticed in to keep costs as low as possible.

Oak Posts, Gate Post Signs & Finger Posts

Oak Wooden Sign Post
This sign has been made using
4 inch high doubled sided signs 18 inches long. They have each been shaped as arrows and morticed into a 3" x 3" oak post.


Oak is heavy and durable but it is expensive when compared to softwood. The timber is planed, edges routered and the tops are shaped. Two coats of Osmo Extra oil are then applied.

We can mortice the signs into the posts if required. (£8.25 per mortice joint)

3" x 3" oak posts are suitable for most signs.

As with the signs posts must also be treated regularly with Osmo Extra to prevent water penetration and keep them looking attractive. Please note with the larger oak posts cracks will appear as the timber ages.
