Deep-relief western red cedar, designed with you, carved and hand-finished in a Port Moody workshop.
From screen to sign
This is 787 Appleyard Court. Every sign goes through the same four stages, and you see it before any cedar is cut.
I Your sign as a 3D proof. Nothing is cut until you approve it.
II The router clears the background and blocks in the scene.
III A fine finishing pass brings out every fold and leaf.
IV Hand-sanded, sealed and ready for the house.

For Realtors
Hand your buyers a carved wooden voucher at closing. A few weeks later they design their own sign, and a discreet “A gift from [your name]” tag goes on the back.
The maker
I make every sign myself in my home workshop in Port Moody. Each one starts as a conversation about your house: its street, its garden, the view from the porch. That becomes a detailed 3D design.
Once you approve it, the sign is carved in western red cedar on my CNC router. Then the work by hand: sanding, detailing and sealing with an exterior spar finish so it stands up to West Coast rain.
I use AI tools to help develop the design. The decisions are yours and mine, and every sign is finished by hand. More on how I design
