Custom Wood Signs Created From Reclaimed Barn Board – Cheeses Murphy

A New Business Signs With A Vintage Look

Our latest installation has brought us to a new area of Downtown Kitchener Ontario.  Just blocks away from the new court house is where you can find the newest location for Cheeses Murphy.  Just like the concept of this grilled cheese restaurant, the custom business sign for it needed to be unique and tasteful.

Reclaimed barn board with individual cutout letters were used in this framed sign.  The fabrication took several steps.

The wood was given a custom finish to give it a distressed look and enhanced the wood grain of the boards.  The barn board would serve as a sign backer for the business name. Individual letters were created by CNC cutting half inch PVC on our router table and they were then prepped for pin mounting.  A handcrafted wood frame was constructed to surround the sign backer and painted to match the cut out letters.  Together these pieces would create a modern sign with a vintage look.

Assembly And Installation

After all the various components of the Cheeses Murphy sign had been manufactured and finished it was time to assemble the sign and install it above the establishment.

The pin mount letters were flush mounted to the barn board backer to add dimension to the sign and the finished wood frame completed the look.

The custom wood sign was installed above the entrance-way and an additional vinyl decal was added to front door to attract the attention of both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
