You love our long reclaimed wooden signs but have your own ideas for the wording or need a different size? That's great, you're in the right place - you can create your own here. Just select your preferred size, colour combination and enter your words.
I will put some designs together and send you a digital proof or you to approve via email. This proof will give you an idea of layout and fonts only. It cannot show you the actual wood being used for your sign. Choose your favourite or guide me some more - there are no hidden charges for changes you want to make. I will start making your sign as soon as you are happy with the design.
Markings, cracks and nail holes are to be expected in these signs. Please bear this in mind when ordering, as the lettering added to your sign can have holes through the middle of it. I try to avoid where possible but with the reclaimed wood I use, the majority of pieces have holes and markings. For me, this is such a wonderful way to add character to your sign. It really is one of a kind.
Please allow up to 5 days to receive your design layouts via email (up to 10 during busy periods - usually Oct, Nov,Dec). Then allow the production time stated to receive your order.

Handmade - The Process...
Handmade - The Process...
Each sign is handmade in our Leicestershire workshop, known as The Barn.
We reuse old pallet wood and turn them into the most gorgeous framed and extremely rustic, signs.
They are de-nailed, heavily sanded and hand cut. Markings, cracks and nail holes are to be expected in these signs. This is such a wonderful and natural way to add character to your sign.
We use eco-friendly and high quality Farrow & Ball paints to paint our signs. The lettering is painted on with the help of paper stencils (which we also make ourselves).
The back of the sign is simply stained, to give you an idea of how your sign started off (unless you opted for a double sided version)
Please note that colours can vary when viewed on a screen as opposed to in person.
Hanging Instructions...
Hanging Instructions...
Our Long Signs have sawtooth hangers on the back for easy wall hanging. We advise using wall anchors and screws designed for your particular type of wall.

Eco-Conscious
Our products are made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes a bit longer to reach you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
We use reclaimed wood for all of our makes. Markings, cracks and nail holes are to be expected in our signs. Please bear this in mind when ordering, as the lettering added to your sign can also have holes through the middle of it. This is such a wonderful and natural way to add character to your sign. They are then hand painted (using eco-friendly Farrow & Ball paints) with the help of stencils (which we also make ourselves from an eco-friendly paper material).
