There are two basic types of signboards we offer for sale on this site. One is of 3-D carved red cedar with which most folks are quite familiar and the other 2-D carved Hi Density Polyethylene.

The Red Cedar we use is of the highest quality with vertical grain. We use 5/4 material which ends up approximately 1” thick in the finished signboard. All lettering and carved graphics are blackened. Next, the raised areas in the (optional) graphics are hand painted with acrylics. Finally, the entire board is given three coats of clear spar urethane varnish as a “presentation finish.” This is admittedly, an attractive natural color. Alas, red cedar contains its own natural preservatives and does not like competition. Thus, any clear finish is temporary. The easiest way to maintain your sign is to let it weather to its natural silvery gray color. 3-D carving simply means we can do carving of greater detail and smaller lettering can be achieved although we do not advise too much lettering.

Hi Density Polyethylene (Polycarve) is a very durable, almost waxy feeling material which is laminated in three layers. Two thin layers compose the outer (front and back) cover in one color and the thick center layer is of a contrasting color. We use ½” total thickness material. We stock brown with a white core, beige with a green core and green with a beige core. Polycarve will only allow for 2-D carving and the smallest carving tool we can use is 1/16th “ diameter. Thus, small graphics and lettering less than 3/4th “ high are not possible at this time.
