The Original Woodpecker Sign Company – Established 1978

Beautiful custom carved wooden signs

Our Wood Carving Booth travelled western Canada for many years… we could be found at big events such as the Vancouver Pacific National Exhibition, the Calgary Stampede, & Edmonton K-Days. We also visited many smaller Prairie and BC venues… A grand tradition of 33yrs at the Calgary Stampede, 17yrs at Edmonton Klondike days, and 28yrs at Vancouver’s Pacific National Exhibition!

Today our wood shop is settled amid the beauty of the West Coast Gulf Islands.

Custom Designs

Our woodpeckers are proud to create distinctive & unique red cedar signs for all your signage and gift needs. Each sign is carved freehand with a router & finished with a urethane clear coat…

Pick the Size and Shape that exactly suits you.

The cost of your sign is primarily based on size (wording plus 1 design are included).
Current standard sizes are:

  • 12″ long, 4 – 12″ high (30 cm x 10 – 30 cm)
  • 18″ long, 4 – 12″ high (46 cm x 10 – 30 cm)
  • 24″ long, 4 – 12″ high (60 cm x 10 – 30 cm)
  • 30″ long, 6 – 12″ high (76 cm x 15 – 30 cm)
  • 36″ long, 6 – 12″ high (91 cm x 15 – 30 cm)

Special order signs of 4′, 5′, 6′ or longer are also available, including
shapes, such as round, oval or specialty.

The Edge Matters

The EDGES of our signs are generally finished with our signature “scalloped edge”. However, we also offer other styles such as:
straight edge, no edge, or burnt edge (rough-looking)…

Made from the Finest Cedar Wood

We use top quality Western Red Cedar. There are many
variations in color, tightness of grain, etc. with this wood, so
no 2 signs will look alike. We can offer a choice of “lighter”
or “darker” hue, but cannot guarantee a specific shade.

An option for color might be for the customer to stain the
finished sign (after market) if it is to match something else.

We recommend the customer do some “after-care” for the
sign… adding additional sealer urethane coats on an annual
basis, e.g. We include a “Care & Feeding” guide with each
sign.

I can’t speak highly enough of the talent of this fine artist. He & his wife were just a pleasure to deal with. The service was impeccable, packaged and shipped all the way from BC with zero damage.

Even though they are located quite a distance from us, they understood immediately the surroundings of our area. They carved a loon and a hummingbird! We live on a lake !

It is the most perfect sign ever.
