Wooden Estate Signs

Wooden Estate and Farm Signs 

Wooden Estate Signs are a speciality for us. We have carpenters on site and can make virtually any wooden signs in our wood workshops. For farm signs, Douglas Fir or Red Cedar are frequently used. Both are durable and can survive with little maintenance - we know how busy farmers are!  The Red Cedar actually looks lovely untreated, as it gently silvers with age. It is full of its own oil, which is why treatment is unnecessary.

Large Douglas Fir Signs
& Douglas Fir Memorial Plaques

Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is not a true fir at all, nor a pine or spruce.
It is a distinct species named after Archibald Menzies, a Scottish physician and naturalist who first discovered the tree on Vancouver Island in 1791, and David Douglas, the Scottish botanist who later identified the tree in the Pacific Northwest in 1826.

It is now North America's most plentiful softwood species, although we use timber grown closer to home.

It has a reddish brown to yellow/orange colour with a straight grain and is characterized by exceptional strength, hardness and durability. It is not only very tough but also water resistant, which makes it useful in exposed situations where maintenance is difficult. Click here for Wood Finishes  The grain is coarser than oak and hairline cracks tend to be a feature of the timber.
