About the Finish of our Simple and Farm Signs

Oak is very suitable for farm signs and stable signs because they are in the countryside. Even many people with houses in town like the look of naturally faded oak which gradually turns to an attractive silver-grey colour but is very durable. The paint work, if any, on the lettering or motif is equally durable but does not change colour. Though we recommend the 'natural' look it is possible for a small additional cost to put a finish on your sign of varnish with UV protection, but the sign will need further coats in future years to keep looking its best.

This is an example of a house sign after
many years' exposure to the weather.
Varnish keeps the sign brown
but will need maintainance.

Did you know?..............

Machines aren't always the most accurate ! When arranging letters to be carved the practised human eye cannot be bettered – some letters needing to be a little reduced in width or expanded to look right next to the adjoining ones. Thus for example the letters LA will naturally have more space between them than HI and this has to be taken into consideration. Another factor is that letters with curved tops and bottoms will look slightly smaller than those with flat ones so the curves have to go slightly beyond the line. This is even more marked where the letters such as A and V come to a point and to look correct this has to be taken a little further above or below – an adjustment not usually found except with hand-carving.
