Sand Carved Signs 
These made to measure signs offer you a wide variety of timber sizes and styles of lettering. Logos can also be included and the sign shaped if required. Smaller signs are made from air dried english oak planed to a thickness of about 20mm and the larger signs from planks of solid timber planed down to about 30mm. Larger signs are also cut from quarter sawn oak for stability.

Made to Measure Oak Signs
If none of the above styles suit your requirements, if you want a sign of a specific size or if you require logos etc, use the chart below. If it is easier - then tell us what you require and we will send you a quote, along with artwork if necessary.

 Danish Oil, Varnish or Untreated
To keep your sign looking young we apply 3 coats of Danish oil to protect against the weather. This also helps to prevent cracking and movement in the wood. To maintain the sign, rub over another coat of Danish Oil, a minimum of three times a year. In exposed situations or if the wood starts to look dry, give extra coats. It is very easy to do and only takes a couples of minutes. We can supply you with Danish Oil if you are unable to obtain it locally.

If prefered we can varnish the sign. However this does not last forever and will need rubbing down and re-varnishing as necessary.

If left untreated oak will gradually darken until almost black. We have occassionally been asked to leave a sign for an old and weathered look. Once the desired effect is achieved you can then protect with Danish Oil. This does run a risk of a few cracks appearing or the wood moving, but even untreated, oak takes a very long time to rot.
