Carved Front Doors

First Impressions.

Sign people are always telling potential customers " Business signs are one of the most obvious places to demonstrate a first impression " Of course this is true but there are other opportunities to affirm this first impression - like front door.



















Every customer goes through the front door of this restaurant,

what a great opportunity to make an impression.























We carved western red cedar to reflect the interior lodge theme and introduce the moose to customers even before the stepped inside. Using a torch we burnt and flamed the wood to give a natural shadowing effect then top coated with
" cetol " to preserve and bring out the warmth of the wood. Details like custom hammered iron brackets compliment the carved wood and add to the handmade feel. Custom made moose antler door pulls are memorable and a fun addition to the restaurant.
First impressions are not restricted just to the sign - be creative and find a new way to impress your potential customers.

Simple Dimension - Great Results



It's easy to stand out. One recently completed project is " Beside Moms " a nice little cafe located in Nairn, Ontario. Always surprises me how the extra effort of carved dimension brings a sign to life. For this project we simply carved a bowl full of blueberries - coffee cup - muffins and cookies.


Simple, effective and noticeable.

Materials : Sandblasted Cedar and Carved HDU

Carved Western Red Cedar


This double sided carved cedar sign is a classy way-finding business marker.

Each tenant has their own carved panel allowing the landlord flexibility to update in the event of tenant turnover.

Sign features rich coffee brown latex along with both gold and silver leaf.
