We use sustainably sourced English Oak for our house signs because of it’s majestic qualities. It has wonderful variations in grain, texture and colour, combined with small knots and burrs providing an attractive feature. This heavy timber has a dense grain, it is strong and durable, with regular maintenance it will last a lifetime. OSMO’s UV Protection Wood Oil is used to finish our signs, this oil contains an active ingredient for the preventative protection against algae and fungal decay. As a stand-alone finish it blocks the greying process by UV-Protection factor 12  , in comparison to untreated wood. If you do not maintain the wood with a regular coating of this oil ,water will seep in and gradually turn the grain black.

If you would rather leave the oak untreated, the oak will soon ‘silver-down’ to a beautiful grey tone.

Orders

We will endeavour to get your new sign to you as soon as we can, however due to the fact that each sign is hand crafted ,you can expect to receive it within six weeks of ordering.

Most pieces are made in English oak, much of it from North Norfolk. Ash, elm, walnut, yew and exotic timbers such as olive, padauk and zebrano are available for many items. The grain and knots make every piece one of a kind, so yours will differ a little from the photos.
