Wood Signs
The Art of Creating Wood Sign Effects
You can now get the appearance of a wood sign without the weathering problems of an actual wood sign. Choose from our selection of wood sign effects for the one that shows your favorite wood. Signs such as these are made of HDU, high-density urethane, a weather-proof sign board, with a PVC core for resilience and strength. These signs have all the look of wood signs but will not split, crack, or warp.
Wood Sign Effects - Textured
For a rustic or wild west look, this is the perfect wood sign effect. The texture is grained into the surface of the sign with chisels and a wire brush. After the piece is beautifully textured with knots, whorls, and wood grain, it is primed and hand-painted with a special driftwood color scheme of paints. The special effect must be done over the entire sign, especially around the edges, in order to achieve the desired overall wood sign effect.
