Welcome ! Wood carved signs is what we do ... and personalisation is our "special sauce".
1. Pick your material (eg. knotty pine, maple, or north american ash) & the main background colour (ie. this is the starting point for the sign blank which we will then carve in to). If the primary colour is the natural wood tone, then the carved sections will always be black. If the primary colour is an actual paint finish, then the carved sections will be the natural wood tone.
2. Describe what you want on your sign in the following format:
- graphic on left:
- graphic on right:
- main (larger) text:
- subtext (smaller) under the main text:
With the graphics there are limitations as to the level of detail so think of something that would look good in all one colour such as a silhouette or similar to the examples shown.
3. We send you a rendering once we receive your order.
4. Once the rendering is approved we make your unique sign & ship in 3-5 days (volume orders may take a little longer so feel free to message us for an expected schedule)
NOTE: If you want a logo added make sure it is something you have the copyright for and that it can be in one colour and still look good.
#### PLEASE ENSURE TO WRITE EXACTLY AS YOU WANT THE TEXT TO APPEAR including whether upper (CAPS) or lower case ... we are not responsible for checking your spelling or correcting your punctuation as we will copy & paste exactly what you tell us you want on the sign ####
This specific sign product is 5" tall & 36" wide as standard. We have several sizes of sign available on our store so we may be able to tailor one of those or create something new if you need a very specific size.
MATERIAL CHOICE:
==================
Please remember that wood by its very nature is an imperfect material with natural character and no two pieces are exactly the same as is the case with most things in nature. As with all our signs we will send you a rendering first once we get your order so you can make any corrections ... and then from there it takes only a few days before this is on it's way.
Knotty pine: this is a softer wood with lots of knots and more rustic in appearance ... the knots are where the branches would have grown out of the tree & the wood is both harder & darker where there are knots. The placement of the knots is completely random. Knots are typically darker compared to the surrounding light wood. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE NATURAL CHARACTER OF WOOD then either avoid ordering any of our products as they are all made from wood OR stick to maple as it has less variation.
Canadian maple: this is a more expensive species and also this is a denser / harder wood than the knotty pine and has far fewer natural defects such as knots. It has a similar light tone but also cuts a little crisper due to the density of the wood.
North American ash (available for some products): this is the best option if the sign is to be mounted outdoors as it naturally inhibits rot and carpenter ants.
PLEASE REMEMBER these are not intended to replicate metal or plastic signs as they will contain some degree of natural character.
****** Remember to check the spelling and punctuation is as you intended when you approve the rendering as it is too late to make changes once approved ******
If you have any questions; as always message us and we will do our best to provide exactly what you are looking for.
## WALL MOUNTING >>> for indoors use our signs are intended to be mounted on the wall or a door or some other vertical flat surface. As of Jan 2022 we will supply metal hangers with all our signs unless advised otherwise (select the appropriate option when ordering your sign). These are the type that slip over 2 screws on the surface so that the sign does not protrude more than about 1/8" from the wall. See the last photo in the product gallery for an example.
Materials
Materials
Here are the standard wood options
All our products are made from solid wood with the exception of birch or other varieties of plywood which are an option on some specific items.
Wood by it's very nature (being an all natural material) has ut's character traits ... some species more than others. Pine, fir and to a lesser excent cedar all have knots and significant colour variation is possible. Maple is more pedictable with very few knots. Birch plywood is much like maple but a more affordable option, however carving plywood reveals the core layers which can be of a different shade.
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 48hrs of receiving your order]. It then takes 3-5 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 for larger / volume orders.
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, 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 but only the fir (or cedar) sign products have an exterior clear coat on them. 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.

Are you in to the "weathered" look?
This one is perfect for that fun piece at the cabin and we have both a skier and snowboarder version.
Perhaps you'd like the aged look if the skiers at your cabin are a bit "weathered" themselves with a few laps of the bumps under their belt.

Shipping Included
For the vast majority of products shipping is included for customers in Canada or USA (lower 49). Shipping charges apply for other international destinations.
We realize many websites will mention "Free shipping" but I think we all know it has been factored in to the price rather than actually being "free". Call me old fashioned but I believe in being honest about this sort of stuff.

Hassle-Free Exchanges
If your order arrives damaged then we will send a replacement provided you notify us within 14 days of receipt. Please note that the natural character traits of wood are not considered damage ... these are wood signs after all. We suggest the maple option if you prefer less in terms of "character".
Any non-personalized products can be returned within 30 days for a refund, however you will need to pay for shipping if for any reason other than damage or wrong product and they must arrive back in the original condition.
