We make our wood signs  and plaques  for both outdoor and indoor use. We use the very best materials and manufacturing processes to create our wood signs. We use prime, kiln-dried, knot-free, vertical grain all-heart Redwood and Western Red Cedar woods for most of our outdoor wood signs and some indoor plaques. Our indoor plaque s& signs  can also be made from furniture-grade  hardwoods such as African Mahogany,  Walnut,  Oak, Maple, Cherry, and Teak. See the figure below for examples of grain structure,   but the colors depend on the color stain used.   Our wood signs are often  stained (we use Minwax fine wood stains) and clear-coated with Matthews 2-part MAP. They can also be painted solid colors with MAP automotive-type 2-part sign paints. We provide a warranty of 2 years, and our  outdoor wood signs and plaques should  last for over a decade with proper maintenance.  Indoor wood plaques and signs will last many decades.

Wood Species we Use for Our Signs an Plaques. Most Outdoor Signs are Made of Western Red Cedar or Redwood

2.5-D Multi-Level Relief Marquetry Plaque with Walnut, Maple and Walnut Woods

We have many different styles to choose from. These premium carved, natural wood signs and plaques can be carved in  2 1/2 dimensions (2.5-D) ,3 dimensions (3-D) or engraved relief . They can also be sandblasted to accentuate the wood grain.

2.5-D signs differ from 3-D signs in that the artwork, borders and text have flat top surfaces, usually at three to five levels of relief or elevation.  3-D signs have rounded or curved top surfaces, like bas-relief sculptures. Sometimes we carve small 3-D appliques out of HDU  (e.g., trees & flowers, domestic animals, wildlife,  fish,  birds, etc. ) and paint and mount them on wood signs or plaques. We also engrave text, borders, and artwork directly into the wood. They can be  engraved by either V-carving (prismatic) or U-carving (flat bottom).

Wood signs have higher prices than High-Density-Urethane (HDU) signs, because the price of wood blanks is typically  twice as much per square foot as HDU blanks. We recommend use of HDU  for outdoor signs, especially if the wood will be painted, rather than stained. HDU signs look identical to wood signs when painted. Our HDU signs cost half as much as wood, last much longer, and require less maintenance. However, we do make painted outdoor Cedar signs for the National Park Service and for applications where high sign strength and robustness is required because of possible vandalism or misuse, because wood is stronger than HDU and less likely to break..

We make faux wood HDU signs that look very much like stained wood signs, including wood grain structure patterns and textures.. You can view these in Gallery 1A , Carved & Painted Faux Wood HDU Signs,  where  hundreds of examples of these beautiful and impressive signs are displayed.

We use real wood as described in this Gallery 3 primarily for high-end stained outdoor signs, rustic signs,  and indoor signs and  plaques.
