Custom Wood Signs

How They're Made

Each sign is assembled from pine wood. Many wall decor pieces nowadays are made with thin plywood to cut costs—I've even come across pieces where the backing is just cardboard stapled onto the frame! In contrast, the signs I sell are sturdy and built to last, while still being lightweight enough to hang on the wall.

I create an original design using your chosen text, hand-letter it onto the wood, and then seal the sign surface with a clear coat to prevent smudging.

Farmhouse-style plaques are finished with sawtooth hangers (shown below). Pallet signs tend to require sturdier hardware that will be determined by the sign's finished size and weight.

Custom Specifications

Text

The quote on each sign can be up to 50 words, lettered in up to 2 different font styles. Refer to my gallery for examples of my past work, or send me a reference photo! (More information below.)

Color

Farmhouse plaque frame color options include: gray, rustic walnut (pictured here), red oak, chestnut, maple, and black. The background of the sign is painted white, and the back of the sign is left natural.

Pallet signs can be stained almost color; just include your preference on the form below!
