I start with copper sheet metal & hand emboss the font of your choosing. Please note price includes shipping & packaging. Your sign with arrive fully protected with Tissue Paper wrap & ribbon tie. The embossing is all hand tooled & great care, time & attention is taken to give it depth & texture. Last name, favorite phrase, etc. Underneath I hand stamp your wedding or anniversary date along with the individual names if chosen as this is optional. This can be done for a couple or family up to 5 names. Please contact us if you need more names done. Next, I torch fire a patina onto the copper. This is like painting with a torch. I can achieve an array of colors ranging from vibrant, to more subdued hues. Each piece turns out unique & one of a kind. The large embossed letters are hand sanded to show bits & pieces of the shiny metal underneath. This gives the piece great character while contrasting with the aged look of the patina. The copper art is then placed on a finished wood piece & set with finishing nails. This listing is for a sign on the natural wood with the original bark on the top & bottom. You may request natural, medium or dark stain. You may choose the amount of letters for the embossing. This is usually the last name, a phrase, a place or even a store name. We have done a homebrew sign, a vacation home sign called Journey's Reward. Note that all signs requiring more than 8 letters are done on a larger piece of wood as seen in the Copper Henny sign. I am able to torch fire two types of finishes. The Old World muted has more subtle, earthy antiqued hues. The vibrant has brighter reddish & violet hues for a more modern copper patina. The Wharff sign is the Old World muted with a natural stain & the others are examples of Vibrant & modern. Each sign comes with saw tooth brackets for easy hanging. These also look great in a picture easel. Please let us know if you prefer wire or twin for hanging. This makes a wonderful wedding, anniversary, birthday, Cabin or B & B Sign, Family sign, housewarming, Christmas gift or custom room sign. A great deal of time & care are taken when creating your special, one of a kind piece. Please allow up to 7 days for creation & shipment.
