Fun, Memorable & Effective


We always try to enhance designs but once in a while a client gives us complete "creative license". This client is remodeling their Lumber yard that caters to residential construction contractors and homeowners.
We could have produced some conventional(boring)signs but chose to make them a bit more fun. We hope they put a smile on their customers face and help make their experience a memorable one.

If you want help designing a memorable sign, we would love to help you realize your vision.

Looking Good!


These signs are an alternate to the Tan/Green signs we frequently make. They are Green/Tan, but as you can see that subtle shift in the color sequence makes quite a difference.
These will reside in a North West Chicago Suburb at the entrance to a very nice residential complex and look great for years to come.
Same easy maintainance and long life as our other signs with a nice new design and reverse color combination.
If you are looking to enhance the image of your development, golf course, or business, give us a call to see what we can do for you.

Lakes & Boats; Homes & Signs



Earlier we posted a few Redwood and Mahogany examples and a 3d Muskie sign to inspire ideas and exhibit a few techniques. A new client incorporated some of the materials and shapes to achieve her own personal vision.
You might notice that the grain pattern on this hand selected Redwood is positioned so the wavy grain at the water level compliments the water artwork effect in this design. Subtle but important details like this are important to us when we make these custom items.
One of a kind personalized signs and plaques make truly unique gifts for those special friends and relatives.
We hope you like this one and welcome the opportunity to create a personalized piece for you.

PERFECT for Garden art



There are several examples of our copolymer dual color plastic routed signs on our web site and here on the blog. I don't know why it hasn't come up before but this is a GREAT application for this material.
The extreme weather and seasonal changes, the pesticides and fertilizers, the dirt and grass clippings, not to mention that sprinkling would destroy a painted wood sign is a very short time. Probably in a year or less.
This customer saw the merits of our material and made a beautiful selection for this routed Garden Memorial sign.
The applications people think of always amaze me but this one's a real winner.
Easy maintaince, won't rot, rust, or chip and it will last for years and years. The sprinklers will even wash it off on a regular basis.
FANTASTIC application we hope we can make one for your garden or special outdoor space.

Hassle free custom arches!


It's been a while since we discussed our custom arches but they are still one of our featured products. We take the hassle out of the process for local lumberyards, contractors, millwork shops, and homeowners. That simply means we take on site measurements, fabricate, deliver and make sure they fit the first time. No need to spend your valueable time or that of your employees to measure, make templates, mail details and expedite long distance. Better yet, IF we make a mistake, you don't pay for it. We simply make it right.

So with stock profiles in 2 to 5 days and new customs in 1 to 3 weeks, why not let us save you time and the hassle on your arches so you can move on to the important issues?

 

It Just makes sense


The two color polymer material we talk about continues to make sense for folks who want a modest price, dimensional sign, that will last practically forever. The easy maintainance, great looks, weather proof properties, plus no peeling paint just makes sense.
This one has some very delicate details and a terriffic design which will create a lasting upscale impression.
The owner will be proud to display and send a high quality message about their business with this two sided sign.
You too can have this type of signage and know it will be there for years to come. Give us a call to see what we can do to enhance your business image and attract more clients for you.

 

The Apple is ripe


Earlier we posted a few photos of a sign in progress. It was made for a good friend and client who had expanded to a new facility and needed a quality sign suitable for his level of custom craftsmanship.
This technique for painted raised letters and logo is a nice choice for a quality outdoor sign with IMPACT. It incorporates custom dimensionally routed "Apple",raised text, website,and a dimensional border. I think you will agree it's a great first impression to promote his award winning custom cabinet shop..

Passionate about Wildlife


This is another sign using the Tan/Green color combination that lasts forever. These always create a bit of a "WOW" factor when folks finally see their ideas turned into a custom piece. In this case the sign will end up on a private wildlife preserve and make a beautiful statement about the owner and his passion for conservation.
Outdoor scenes and wildlife add that special personal touch to a resort or favorite week end get away place. We can create any animal or scenic background in 2D or 3D designs for a unique signature piece and hope to make one for you.

Personalized Gifts




We recently had the pleasure of hosting several friends and family guests here for our daughters wedding. During the visits several of the family members fascinated by our sign making capabilities asked for a few custom pieces. These are the results of their creative thinking for signs, name spelling puzzles, and gifts for friends. The puzzle for Jackson will be painted in different colors and help him learn the alphabet and colors as he approaches his 2nd birthday. The F22 Raptor sign is for a cousin who is focused on entering the air force academy, and the redwood signs are gifts for some of the wedding party.
Enjoy and let us know if we can personalize something special for you.
