Video: Making our Hand Lettered Wood Signs

Our video shows the true handcrafted nature of our hand painted signs.

The wood SIGN BLANKS are hand selected to assure the highest quality surface. The wood sign blanks are hand sanded to ensure an even application of the coatings.

PRIMER AND BASE COATINGS are selected to ensure the longest life possible. The photo at bottom left of this page shows the stages of the coating applications. STEP 1: an oil-based exterior wood primer is applied to seal the wood. STEP 2: two top coats of ivory-colored Benjamin Moore brand exterior coatings are applied.

THE LETTERING (STEP 3) is designed freehand for an authentic hand-lettered look that is pleasing to the eye. Every sign is unique. The artist hand paints the letters using oil-based enamels.
STEP 4: Finally, all sign surfaces are sealed with two coats signmaker-grade sealant containing UV-protectants.
