Welcome to our
website
Woodcott is a very small business close to
Bath, UK but we hand-carve in oak and custom
design many signs, so we need a lot of photos to
show the many possibilities (click here to
see four pages of examples : House
signs and wooden signs ). Being
in durable oak our wooden signs have that
special look - and with exposure over time to the weather
they actually get more character without rotting
- see Lower Shockerwick sign to the left for example. If
you want a smarter look a varnished finish is an alternative.
We started woodworking in 1979 so we have plenty of
experience and hope that, although we are not a
big business, in our case 'small is beautiful'.
We like doing personalised signs to suit the customer's
taste and can copy logos, photographs etc or design
something to suit - all made out of attractive
oak, the best timber there is for house signs. Our
work has lettering hand-carved in the traditional
manner but the font is not always traditional and
often has colour added to improve clarity. We make
many wooden house signs and other wooden signs without
a motif and then the choice is between capitals
or lower case lettering in our usual style - based on
Roman Trajan, or any other font style you may require. Most
house signs are in the range £35 - £100. We also make
village signs, farm signs and stable signs, shop signs,
school signs and memorial plaques. Whatever your
signage requirements please phone us to discuss the
design or maybe email and we can give you an immediate
quotation. Being bespoke and carved by hand, please
remember -
anything is possible! |

Did you
know?..............
The oak is the largest and longest lived of our native
species generally living to several hundred years of age
unless felled (usually for timber) which is not often done before
maturity at about 150 years. Before the introduction of continental species the
oak was, in most areas of Britain, the dominant
species of our native woodland and often still caused not by
any aggressive tendencies but as a function of its
longevity. The oak affords a habitat for as many as 500 species
of insects in its foliage and bark but has
such powers of recouperation that the tree and for
us the important bit the timber does not
suffer.
