WOODEN SIGNS | BARREL
The first barrels were designed in 350 BC and are shaped to be rolled like a wheel, but can also stand upright and remain stationary. Even though barrels are remarkably watertight, there is always a slight loss of volume due to evaporation while wine or another distilled spirit is aging in an oak barrel. The evaporated portion combines water and alcohol. It is called the "Angels' Share". Winemakers account for this loss and monitor the barrels' capacity.
These wooden signs, along with our Collaborative Sign Design Service, offer scale proofs to help you see what you want. Your credit card isn't charged until you approve a proof for carving! All of our wooden signs are as distinct as the individuals who are drawn to the appeal of handcrafted and personalized carved wooden signs and their sentiments. Treat yourself or give a Gift Certificate to a loved one, allowing them to design their sign with the help of a graphic designer, for any of our wooden signs.
All of our engraved wooden signs are crafted from Real Western Red Cedar with beautiful, fine-grained fiber and very tight knots, if at all. When we craft signs that are 11 inches tall or less, we engrave them from ¾-inch cedar. Signs taller than 11 inches are custom-made from 1¼-inch laminated cedar (similar to butcher block or bowling alley lanes) for added strength and stability. Our handmade, engraved wooden signs will maintain their warm colors, ranging from mellow ambers to reddish cinnamon and rich sienna, if you refresh the original cedar oil-based finish with our exclusive Cedar Finish Refresher. Use it every summer. Your wooden signs will "Gracefully Weather a Lifetime"! ™
