Choosing the best Carved Wooden Sign


 
Business

A carved wooden sign looks elegant and refined in any setting at home or in the office. They can also be used for shop fronts, restaurants, beach houses, boutique stores and the like. Wooden house signs lend an air of rustic charm to any dwelling and indicate that their owners value attention to detail and wish to add elegance to their surroundings. Wooden sign boards are very versatile. They are available in a range of sizes and shapes, woods, finishes and engraving styles.

Size and shape

The size and shape of a carved wooden sign depends on where it will be mounted. Wooden signboards can be hung from poles or mounted on walls, gates, or posts. Sizes and shapes can vary from the standard to the highly customized and also dependon where the sign will be placed. Mounts can range from metal hinges to screws or even just holes through which a chunky rope can be threaded and tied for that extra artistic touch.

Woods and finish

For wooden house signs, using local wood would be the best option. These will be very cost effective and also suited to the climatic conditions of the area. Using local wood will prevent the signs from bending, shrinking, warping or peeling during climatic extremes. In North America, good choices of wood are pine, cedar, spruce, birch and fir.

The kind of finish used will depend on the weather in the region, if it is for an outdoor sign. Finishes that have UV protection will prevent the sign from turning yellow and having to be frequently re-treated. Spar Urethane finishes only last 3-4 years in direct sunlight. One of the better options is to coat it with an oil sealer and use a spar varnish or to cover the entire carved wooden sign with opaque exterior paint. The key to having your wooden house signs looking good for even up to 30 years is to maintain them well. Repainting and redoing the finish at least once every three years will keep the carved wooden sign looking like new.

Engraving styles

When it comes to styles, if time and budget are not a constraint, the possibilities are quite extensive. Companies such as MyChoice@Firebridge offer their customers a high degree of customization in every aspect of the style. Hand carved wooden house signs can be created in elegant fonts and stained with varnish and polish to complement the surrounding decor.

Sometimes clients will want images such as houses, birds and even human figures added to wooden sign boards. Wood carvers use a photograph or a drawing as a reference to create the perfect finished product. For human figures, the best effect can be achieved by creating a clay model first and then conforming the wooden carving to the clay model.

Wooden house signs if done well and maintained regularly can impart an air of artistic refinement to even the humblest address. Knowing about the options and various aspects that go into creating a work of signboard art will help you decide what you want and how you want it done.
