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.
