We make beautiful classical sandblasted, hand-carved, engraved, or machine carved California Redwood, Western Red Cedar, Douglas Fir, Red Oak, Maple, Cherry, Alder, Teak, and Mahogany signs. We offer the same shapes, sizes and artwork choices as for High Density Urethane (HDU) signs. Many people prefer the natural beauty of stained and varnished wood instead of the enameled paint finish of HDU, even though more maintenance is required for outdoor wood signs than for HDU signs.
We recommend our wood signs when you want a natural or rustic finish; if you want an all-painted sign, we recommend HDU instead.Of course, we can paint our wood signs as well as finish them naturally. We use only the top grades of wood with very few knots or defects. We also use 100 yr old reclaimed barnwood when a distressed, antique or aged look is called for., and we can also create a driftwood look. Some of these wood signs have sandblasted backgrounds (grain structure shows up as ridges), whereas others have smooth background finishes (engraved). The letters, numbers and art icons are either elevated (background sandblasted or CNC routed) or engraved (letters and numbers are CNC routed, hand-carved, or reverse sandblasted).,
Similar to Product Line 2, we offer Premium Carved three-dimensional (3D) wood bas-relief signs and plaques as well as less expensive sandblasted signs. These are high-end signs, with prices of $69 /ft2 to $85/ft2. This price compares very favorably to the $140/ft2 to $240/ft2 for comparable wood signs made by other carved wood sign companies. These signs and plaques have premium 3D hand-carved or machine-carved bas-relief sculptured art and sometimes beveled or V-cut text , in contrast to regular sandblasted wood signs which have 2.5D art and text. (also shown in this page).Examples of 3D carved wood art are shown in photos M3950 through M3969 below. We have over 2000 pieces of computerized 3D art in our art library. Wooden signs and plaques with 3D carved art are slightly more expensive (10 % to 20%) than the simpler 2.5D sandblasted wood signs but are far more interesting and elegant. These can be painted with oil enamels, or the wood backgrounds can be either stained different colors or left natural, and finished with two coats of an outdoor clearcoat.
We can work from a design in our Galleries (please designate with ID number such as M3070), a photo, a sketch you supply, a computer file, or we can create a new design for you.These signs are about 15% to 40% more expensive than HDU signs of similar design and size, depending on the wood type and construction method. Prices of sandblasted wood signs range from $120 to $500 and up; prices of carved bas-relief 3D wood signs are $150 to $500 and up, depending primarily on size and type of wood. Softwoods such as Western Red Cedar, California Redwood and Douglas Fir are less expensive than most hardwoods such as Mahogany, Maple, Red or White Oak, American Cherry and Teak.
