The cedar camelback sign is a reproduction of an historic house sign popular in colonial New England. Named for the single hump centered on the sign top, the camelback sign shape adds some design flair to the classic rectangle shaped sign. Finely routed 1/8" beaded edge on all sides. Includes painted border (usually a $10 sign option). More camelbacks are shown below and in the Sign Gallery, Hand Painted Font Guide and Facebook. Three sizes available, details and cost below. The "hump" space fits house numbers nicely, making the camelback sign a good sign choice for a combination house number / street name and circa-year built sign.
Cut from 12-inch wide vertical grain Western Red Cedar plank, our solid cedar historic house signs are hand painted as one-sided signs below and two-sided signs. The solid cedar 5/4, or "five-quarter" (1-1/4 inches) thickness signs shown here are cut and routed in our sign shop, primed with high-quality oil-based wood primer, multiple top coats painted and hand lettered with your custom text in a hand lettered font selected from our Font Guide using lettering enamels and brushes.
