Custom Signs in New London, TX

Handmade wooden signs for New London — family names, house numbers, church pieces and gate signs, made twenty minutes up the road.

Made in a furniture shop

These are built as timber pieces — real frames, real boards, joints cut rather than stapled, and a finish put on the way a table gets finished. That is why they survive outdoors through an East Texas summer, and why they sit properly beside good furniture indoors instead of looking like gift shop stock.

What people ask for

Family names and established dates. House numbers. Scripture. Church signs and noticeboards. Nursery and children's room pieces. Wedding and anniversary signs. Memorial pieces for a family place. Kitchen and laundry wording. One sign for one room is a perfectly normal order.

Gate and outdoor signs

Anything going on a gatepost or at the end of a drive is a different job from a porch sign — full sun, full weather, and usually a long way from anyone who will maintain it. Timber chosen for outdoors, joints cut rather than stapled, lettering deep enough to read once the surface has weathered, and a finish given time to cure. Tell us how exposed the spot is and it gets built for that.

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 wall you actually have, turns a back door into somewhere coats and boots go instead of the floor. They take lettering too, which makes them a sign and a coat rack at once.

Ordering

Send the wording, the rough size, any colors it has to sit alongside, and a photograph of where it is going. You get a price before anything is cut, and we are about twenty minutes away.
