Oak Signs

Oak House Name Sign – Valley View

This is what happens to oak house plaques when they’re left to their own devices. Most wood signs will turn silvery-grey if untreated and exposed to the elements. However, oak is more resistant to splitting and rot than many of the other timbers used for house signs and plaques.

The v-cut lettering on this sign looks as if it has been done by a computer controlled (CNC) router. It is rather small in relation to the wood plaque and is not centred vertically.

Giving it a light sanding and picking out the lettering in white would easily restore this sign. The whole thing should then be given a few coats of a preservative stain. To keep it looking good this should be done annually.
