Welcome to our
website
Woodcott is a very small business in Bristol, 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 or
School Cottage sign for examples. 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 £60 - £120. 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 it’s foliage and bark but has such powers of recouperation
that the tree and – for us the important bit – the timber does not
suffer.
