Why Choose Oak or Walnut?
Distinct Character, Built to Last

Whether you're drawn to oak’s rugged character or walnut’s refined depth, these woods bring unique benefits suited to different homes and personalities:

  • Oak – Trusted for centuries; strong, weather-resistant, and full of natural grain that matures beautifully when oiled.

  • Walnut – Elegant and luxurious; rich chocolate tones and a smooth satin finish—ideal for adding sophistication to heritage or contemporary exteriors.

Fully Personalised Wooden Signs – Made to Order

Our design process ensures every detail reflects your vision—choose your wood, layout, font, finish and optional motifs:

  • Surnames, property names or numbers

  • Single or multi-line layouts

  • Decorative motifs or borders

  • Serif, sans serif, or script fonts

Before we begin crafting and engraving, we’ll send you a proof to approve, so you can see exactly how your personalised wooden signs will look. We also create wooden name plaques for gates, sheds, studios and workshops.

Finishes & Aftercare: Keep Your Timber Radiant

To ensure long-lasting beauty, we only use air-dried oak and not green oak.  Air-dried oak is a superior product, meaning that any movement or splitting has already occurred, resulting in a smooth, flawless finish.  This means that your lovely wooden house sign is already accustomed to the outdoors.  To keep your wooden house sign looking its best, we do recommend refreshing the finish with an additional coat of tung oil every 6-9 months.

  • Tung oil – penetrates timber for additional UV weather-resistant protection

  • Natural – no oil applied, your sign will silver as it ages.
