This isn't a sign placed in a frame; it's a single, solid block of wood, skillfully carved to create an integral frame around your memory. It's a more substantial, more authentic way to display your favourite adventure—a solid piece of the mountain, transformed into a work of art.
You know that feeling. The last run of a perfect day, the breakthrough on a trail that pushed you, the shared laughter on a lift. These moments are the real trophies of a life lived outdoors.
While our classic signs capture the rustic soul of the mountain, this version gives it the weight and presence of a gallery piece. By carving the sign and its frame from one continuous piece of wood with visible natural grain, we create a seamless and substantial object that feels incredible in your hands and looks stunning on your wall.

The Art of the Craft
- Solid Block, Integral Frame: This sign isn't assembled. The frame is carved from the very same piece of solid wood as the sign itself, creating a seamless, durable piece with no joints or glue
- Deep, Precision Carving: Your text isn't painted; it's carved deep into the wood, revealing the beautiful texture beneath
- Premium Wood: Hand-selected solid wood with natural grain and character
- Ready to Hang: Includes mounting hardware for easy installation
- Made-to-Order: Handcrafted just for you in our BC workshop—please allow 1-2 weeks for production
Customization Options:
- Available Run Symbols: Green Circle, Blue Square, Black Diamond (Single, Double, Triple), Terrain Park (Orange Rectangle), and more... just ask!
- Wood Choices:
| Wood Type | Swatch | Characteristics |
| Knotty Eastern Pine |  |
Best for indoor use. Rustic character with prominent knots and warm grain. Softer wood carves more easily but less precisely for fine details. |
| North American Ash |  |
Can be used outdoors. Durable hardwood with beautiful grain, weather-resistant when sealed. Very few knots. Dense wood so carves precisely. |
| Canadian Eastern Maple |  |
Best for indoor use. Smooth, clean appearance with very few knots. Some relatively minor colour variation. Dense wood so carves precisely. |
- Distressed Finish (Optional): We can gently weather the sign to give it the look of a season on the mountain.

Materials
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
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
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
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.
