NAMING YOUR CABIN OR SUMMER PLACE WITH A CUSTOM WOOD SIGN

Whatever you own, run, or visit, whether it is a lodge, cabin, or summer place, nothing welcomes people in the same way as a Custom Wood Sign does. Nothing beats the look and feel of an old-world style hand-carved wooden sign if you want a personalized welcome sign. This is primarily because you have no limitations with this type of sign. You can make your sign as creative as you can imagine regardless of what message you are trying to get across; whether it is your house number, family name, or a message used to create a decor piece to hang on a wall inside, you can achieve any or all of these things with the help of a carved wooden sign.

Why settle for a practical, standard run-of-the-mill sign for your lodge, cabin, or summer place when you could invest in a handcrafted wooden sign to say much more about your business, home, cabin, camp, and lodge. I say this because you can use this type of sign to convey a lot more than merely who you are or what number your cabin is. You can place text and images on these signs to convey traits about your business or personality. With this in mind, you have to consider the fact that there are so many factors to consider when you are planning how your sign will look. You need to consider font and images and the type of wood you are using for your sign.

Western Red Cedar is the best type of wood that can be used for these signs. Western Red Cedar will last for decades, even in the harshest environments, when this type of wood is finished correctly. This is thanks to the natural resistance to moisture, decay, and insect damage, which makes it an excellent choice for a wooden sign that will be in the line of sun, rain, heat, and cold all year round. It has a natural durability, but it also has a natural beauty, and these two things combined make it perfect for use on a wooden sign.

Going back to the font used on the wooden sign, you need to put a lot of thought into it, as it is the first and most prominent thing people will see. One font can give out a completely different meaning than another, so you need to make sure that the font you use gives out the correct message you want. If you have a bold, stand-out, firmly structured font, then this will give out a serious message that generally informs people. This font is mainly used for warning messages. This helps you understand the sort of font you will want to be looking for. Text, however, isn’t your only option with a wooden sign!

You can place an image on your wooden sign; this can significantly increase your sign's visibility. In fact, in many cases, people are far more likely to notice and develop an interest in your sign if an image is featured on it. In many cases, people will often see this image before they notice its actual text. It is down to reasons you may wish to include an image on your sign. The images on your sign could be anything from an animal to a portrait or object. The main way in which these images are placed on wooden signs is through the use of photographs. If you have a photograph of the image that you want placed on the sign, then this image can be copied and carved into the wood.

So, what else do you have the option of with these signs? Well, the size, of course! The larger it is, the more detail you can include. These larger signs will cost more, but if you need the extra detail, then the extra cost is worth it. So whether you want a welcoming or just a fun message, nothing says it better than a wooden sign, so start picking out your font and images now!
