Your lake has a name. Your family has a story. This is the sign that tells it.

Our Lake Living Personalised Signs are precision CNC-carved from solid Canadian timber and hand-finished in our mountain workshop. Choose from a curated gallery of iconic Canadian lake scenes — loons on calm water, canoes at dusk, docks with Muskoka chairs — then personalise it with your lake name, family name, or established year. The result is a scenic, narrative sign that celebrates lake life wherever it's displayed.

Two Wood Options

  • Indoor / Sheltered Display — Canadian Timber: Ideal for interior walls, boathouses, covered porches, and sheltered exterior locations. Rich grain, premium stain or paint finish.
  • Outdoor / Exposed — North American Ash: For fully exposed exterior locations — cottage facades, house name plates, exterior boathouse walls, gate signs, and driveway entrances. Ash is exceptionally hard and dense, standing up to rain, frost, and UV year-round. Priced comparably to the Cottage Driveway Sign for equivalent sizes.

Available Scenes

  • Loon on Calm Water
  • Canoe on Still Water
  • Dock with Muskoka Chairs
  • Great Blue Heron Standing
  • Sunset Over the Lake with Treeline
  • Beaver on a Log
  • Campfire with Log Seats
  • Mountain Lake with Gondola / Chairlift
  • Moose on Mountain Lake
  • Kayaker on Alpine Lake
  • Sunset Lake with Pine Shoreline and Grass Foreground

Personalisation Options

Select your scene, size, wood species, and finish, then enter your personalisation details — lake name, family name, house name, house number, and/or established year — when ordering. After purchase, we'll provide a digital proof for your approval before carving begins.

How It Works

  1. Choose your scene, size, wood species, and finish
  2. Enter your personalisation details when ordering
  3. After purchase, we'll provide a digital proof for your approval before carving begins
  4. Once approved, your sign is precision-carved, hand-finished, and shipped directly to you

The gallery shows representative examples only. Each sign is individually composed to suit your personalisation — we adjust scene proportions, text sizing, and layout based on our experience to ensure the best possible result. Your proof will confirm the final design before we cut.

Materials

Here are the standard wood options

All our products are made from solid wood ie. no MDF or plywood unless specified for a custom order.

Wood by its very nature (being an all natural material) has its character traits ... some species more than others. Knotty Pine of course has knots and significant colour variation is possible.

Maple is more predictable with very few knots, and bring a fairly dense wood it machines precisely. Ash is similar with the added benefit of being more resistant to rot so a good fit for outdoor use.

Shipping & Returns

We will start to make your sign AFTER any personalization has been approved via email [we send you a computer rendering within 72hrs of receiving your order]. It then takes about 5 days once you have given approval via email reply to carve, finish, pack & ship. During busy periods such as the Xmas rush this can increase to 2 weeks and larger / volume orders can also take longer.

NOTE: We are not responsible for delays caused by customs or other carrier-related delays out of our control. When your order ships you will get a calculated ESTIMATED time of arrival based on the carrier's own standards, but this is not a guaranteed arrival date.

We only ship with trackable methods such as Canada Post Expedited Parcel, UPS Ground, Purolator Ground, etc.

Contact us within 14 days of receipt with any damage or other product concerns. For returns we need to receive the product back within 30 days of you receiving it and it must be in new condition (unless of course it arrived damaged).

Dimensions

We actually make our products using mm but we will quote sizes in both mm & the closest inch dimensions. It's just way more precise to use mm in the workshop.

Care Instructions

We use exterior grade paints and all sign products have an exterior clear coat on the front and edges.
We can paint the back side also if you ask.

As long as you avoid spilling anything on the wood or wipe off immediately then there should be minimal maintenance required ... wipe down with a damp cloth.
As with any wood product try to avoid excessive temperature fluctuations as the wood can distort. Some amount of fading is to be expected with any painted wood product exposed to the sun & elements over time ... much in the same way that the siding on a house or your car will fade in the sun eventually.
