Cedar Signs:
How are they made?
All of our cedar signs are designed, constructed,
carved, routed, and painted by talented Schmeeckle staff. Every sign
is a unique masterpiece. We personalize your sign with words and
pictures provided by you, or you can tell us what you're envisioning and
we'll find the perfect picture to match. We then give you a free
design layout and cost estimate.
If
you choose to purchase a cedar
sign, the
fabrication process is started. We cut, plane, and join together 2-inch or 4-inch thick
Western red cedar boards, depending on the size. Metal rods are
drilled through large signs to ensure a tight fit. Your layout is
then traced onto the wood.
Schmeeckle
artists route the letters and borders and carve the pictures with
beautiful detail and depth. The sign is painted with long-lasting
and vibrant acrylic paint. A finishing varnish brings out the rich
color and grain of the wood.
Cedar signs can be designed in nearly any shape, size, or
carving. Just contact us, and we will be happy to discuss any
options with you.
