Wooden House Name Signs using English Oak

The English oak has a magnificent splendour all of its own, with stunning variations in grain, texture and colour and often small pin knots and burrs are an attractive feature. English oak is exceedingly strong, heavy and durable. If maintained correctly it will last a lifetime and we can all enjoy the benefits of its strength and sturdiness.

The engraved oak signs we produce are of superior quality. Even large oak signs for schools and businesses we manufacture are put together with rigorous attention to detail. Each section of the sign plaque are reinforced with internal hardwood dowelling making sure they do not come apart. The joins are colour matched and sanded through multi belt drum sanders giving a perfectly plat surface.

Once we attached the post and apply our finish, all by hand, you get a feel of what we can achieve as a company, though a very small family run business, the work we produce is without doubt extraordinary. Every surface is silky smooth and treated either with Superior Danish Oil or our low mainatance Diamond Coating finish. The lettering can be left plain or paint filled with acrylic paint. Our standard colours are Black, White and Grey but we can use any number of colours if required.

Here’s something a little different. We can make wooden house name plaques and signs to suit your every wish, if you fancy a sign that is unique we can help this happen.

Rustic Wooden House Signs:

These Waney Edge rustic wooden house signs, made from one piece solid oak feature the tree natural edge with the bark still left on if we can. A classic oak house sign with a drift wood appearance. Comes with our invisible fixings too.

If you like that natural feel, the natural edge of the tree is a striking eye catching feature. Personally I love a live edge oak sign, it makes a wooden sign that more interesting and unique. We can create rustic oak house signs for wall hanging and free standing on posts.

Note the oak sign post on the left is taller than on the right to work with this rustic natural edge house sign irregular shape.

Carved motifs like trees, butterflies and other additions can be included as an optional extra. We can carve most things, we have around 3000 carvings on file to choose from. However we offer a complete bespoke service when it comes to makes wood house signs, so unique additions, fonts, logos, crests, coats of arms can be included.

Tiered Wooden House Signs:

For your business, a cluster of barns or a private road, these handmade, beautiful wooden house signs look chunky and scream quality. Made to order, we can create these in what ever arrangement you like with as many tiers you need.

Again using traditional joinery techniques, these joined post and plaque oak signs are chunky, hard wearing and built to last many many years.

A lot of people refer to these as wooden ladder signs, with rungs as the name for each oak sign board. We can make these with any number of tires. The largest so far being 9 rungs.

For communities or private roads sign like this can be tailor made to suit the layout and position of each house location. Carved directional arrows can be included, facing in any direction or even pointing hand motifs.

Wooden Business Signs:

Like with our oak house signs we put the same time and care into our wooden engraved business signs. Made to order, we can carve your company logo exactly, even if your logo includes highly decorative designs or features detailed images, we can copy it and carve it.

Wooden Number House Signs:

From one number up to four or more. We make beautiful wooden house number signs with quality and long life in mind. They may be small but the finish and quality of timber is no different.

Oak Sign Posts:

An alternative to the traditional wooden house sign. These stunning solid oak sign posts truly make an impression. 100mm thick solid, air dried, English Oak is the only thing good enough for our wooden sign posts. You will love this design if you want your house name to stand out amongst the crowd.

Available in two sizes and can be carved on one or all four sides.

Sign posts are totally unique and are an eye catching way to spot your house by couriers or the postman if you happen to live in the middle of nowhere or in a hard to find location. Dictional finger pointing signs can be attached to oak sign posts. As many as required facing in any direction.

Finger pointing signs:

Signs like these are striking, with to without arrow pointing cut sign plaques. We have made many of these for car parks, community centres, public houses, Golf courses… an engraved oak sign does look stunning in comparison to painted or vinyl signs:

Multi directional oak signs posts can be created  to order, sometimes a little unconventional like this milestone post example. Mile stone posts are stunning. 

Green Burial Markers:

Stunning in every way. Our wooden alternative to a head stone are make to such care and attention to detail. We don’t just engrave lettering, we can carved motif of your choice, be it a tree like in this example, a butterfly, a heart, birds, animals – whatever you want – we can do it.
