ABOUT OUR SIGNS

Our Wood Signs that begin with the item number PDS- are based upon late 19th century designs when use of text oriented pub and trade signs were at their height.  While the signs are brand new, they conform in shape and lettering style to that of old time signs.  To complete the look, all of the signs are given a hand rubbed stain to "age" the sign appropriately.

The larger signs, 18"x24" and up feature 1" hand kerfed, heavy poplar wood molding frame with hand painted gilded pin stripes.  Kerfed is the art of cutting slits in the molding to establish and arch shape.  The sign portion is made of 1/2" Birch veneer MDF wood with silk screened verbiage, gilded three dimensional bas relief of resin, hand rubbed stain.  The name boards that come with these size signs also feature the same 1" heavy poplar wood molding with hand pin stripping.

The tombstone shaped, large ovals, dartboard backings and framed crescent signs feature steam bent poplar wood moldings with hand painted frames and pin stripping.  The basic copy is screen printed, the personalized copy is produced in vinyl and the accents are added by hand.  They are then hand-stained and a three dimensional bas relief is added (as applies). 

All of the signs come ready to hang with all hardware included and with the exception of the garden signs are intended for interior use only.
