Wood Sign Making Compliments of Italy – From Custom To Wholesale We Are Always Here To Help

You Never Know What You Have Inspired

Earlier this week, we received an email from a person overseas, saying that they came across an article in Sign Craft Magazine from March/April 2009 with a sign we had made.  We often partake in sign publications asking for step by step articles about how we manufacture custom and wholesale wood signs.  It is a great way to connect with other manufacturers in the sign making profession.

The email explained that in Italy they don’t have all the materials that we have here in North America but building wood signs was a hobby and our step by step plan was useful.  With a bit of subsitution they were able to make a wood sign for friend of theirs.

Below is a pic of the sign that was built based on an article from 2 years ago
