Made from the same timber as everything else here

The signs come out of a furniture shop, and it shows. They are built as timber pieces — real frames, real boards, finished the way a table gets finished — rather than printed onto something thin and hung on a nail. That is why they last on a porch and why they look right next to good furniture instead of next to a gift shop shelf.

What people ask for

Laundry and kitchen wording. Family names and established dates. House numbers. Scripture. Nursery and children's room pieces. Wedding and anniversary signs. Memorial pieces for a family place. And a steady run of business signage — shop names, market stall boards, and the sort of thing an independent needs when a vinyl banner will not do.

Coat racks and hooks

A close cousin of the sign work, and one of the most-asked-for things in the shop. A stained board with cast hooks, cut to the length of the wall you have got, is the fix for a back door or a mudroom that never had anywhere to hang anything. They can carry lettering too, which makes them a sign and a coat rack at once.

Downtown Kilgore and the shops on Main

Kilgore's historic downtown has kept its Art Deco frontages from the boom years, and the independents trading there under the Texas Main Street program are exactly who a handmade timber sign suits. A painted board with real depth to it belongs on a 1930s frontage in a way that a printed panel never quite manages.

Questions we get from Kilgore

Can you make a sign with my own wording?

Yes — that is most of what these are. Your words, your colors, sized to the wall it is going on.

Do you make signs for businesses as well as homes?

Both. Shop and market signage, and the smaller framed pieces people put up at home or give as gifts.

Can you match a color?

Usually. Bring a paint chip, a photograph or the item it has to sit next to.

How small an order will you take?

One. A single sign for one room is a perfectly normal order.

How to order one

Send the wording, the rough size and any colors it has to live with. A photograph of the wall or the room helps more than a description. You will get a price before anything is cut, and one sign is as welcome an order as ten.
