Handcrafted in the Monashees

Every sign is precision CNC-carved in our off-grid, solar-powered workshop in the Monashees of British Columbia, using solid timber from Canada and the USA. Each piece is finished by hand, built with care, and made to last — we even 3D print our own mounting hardware. Proudly shipped across Canada & the USA.

Discover our story

Some places stay with you.

A ski run you still think about in July. A lake road you know by heart. A cabin where everyone gathers. A trail, ridge, or mountain town that keeps calling you back.

I call that feeling Missing In Adventure — the pull back toward the places that become part of who you are. It's the mindset behind every sign I make at Advent Wood Products: carved wood pieces for people who carry those places with them long after they've left.

Mountain life. Year-round.

Made with care. Built to last.

Hi, I'm Barry. Every sign I make starts with a real place — a run, a trail, a lake, a cabin, a mountain town. I've spent nearly five decades in the mountains, and that experience shapes everything I carve.

The signs are precision CNC-carved from solid timber sourced from Canada and the USA, then finished by hand. Not printed, not mass-produced. Each one is made to feel as permanent as the memory it represents.

Mountain life doesn't stop when the snow melts. It just changes boots, bikes, boats, trails, and stories.
