Lettering

Commissions to produce a wide variety of hand carved lettering are a frequent part of our wood carving teams work.
Typical requests we receive include - 

  • Plaques.
  • Notice boards & signs.
  • Mayoral role boards.
  • Hymn Boards.
  • Commemorative lettering to church pews (in-situ).
  • Bench seats.
  • House signs, numbers & nameplates.
  • Carving to customers own items

As all of our incised lettering is produced by hand rather than by machine there is almost no restriction on what can be created for you, with font style, size, spacing and layout being of your choice all to an agreed proof.

Lettering may be left straight from the chisel to further define script it can be painted or gilded to your requirements. 

For carved signed that are mounted outside and exposed to the elements we recommend that timbers are oiled for both protection and to maintain their appearance.

A member of our team is available to discuss your requirements - do please contact us.
