Solid oak is the standard and the most popular, with English walnut, American walnut and pine also available. Oak is the safest choice outdoors thanks to its natural durability and tight grain, which holds crisp engraved detail; walnut gives a darker, richer background that suits a contemporary house or an interior piece. Because these are natural timbers, every board differs slightly in grain and colour – rather the point of a handmade engraved house sign over a mass-produced one. Our complete guide to engraved timber covers each option.
Yes – our signs are made to be weather-resistant and oak has been used for exterior joinery in this country for centuries. Left untreated it silvers to a soft grey over a few seasons, which many people prefer; if you’d rather keep the honey colour, oil it once a year with a UV-resistant exterior oil. Mount it where rain can run off rather than pool, leave a small gap behind it so the back can breathe, and it will comfortably outlast a printed or acrylic sign. Our post mounted oak sign is built for full exposure at the end of a drive.
Yes, everything is customisable. The house sign shown on our product page is 400mm x 135mm, but we make to any size, and you can specify wording, font, letter size and layout – house name, number, road, family name, a date, or all of it. Longer names need a wider board or a two-line layout to stay legible from the road, and very fine scripts don’t engrave as crisply at small sizes. Tell us what you want and we’ll advise on proportions before we cut.
Wall-mounted signs are typically fixed with four countersunk screws into wall plugs, or on stone and brick with a discreet standoff that lifts the board a few millimetres clear so water doesn’t sit behind it. On a gate, fix through into the rails rather than the boarding so the sign isn’t fighting timber movement. Where there’s no suitable wall – a long drive, a gated entrance, a field boundary – a post mounted oak sign solves it, standing free at the entrance.

They’re among the few gifts that genuinely last. A personalised solid oak height chart records a family growing up and gets handed on; an engraved house sign is a well-judged housewarming or new-build present; and engraved oak works beautifully for weddings, significant anniversaries and retirements where a name and date carry weight. Because each is engraved to order in Devon rather than pulled from stock, order well ahead of the occasion rather than in the final week. Everything is handmade in our Devon workshop.
Yes – we regularly produce matching sets for property developers, holiday let and estate owners, hotels and commercial premises, from numbered door plaques through to wayfinding and entrance signage. Working in one batch keeps the timber, font and finish consistent across every unit, which is difficult to achieve if signs are ordered piecemeal over time. Trade pricing applies to volume orders, and we can hold your specification on file so later additions match the originals exactly. See also our work on custom made furniture for business.
