Artisanal Wooden Typography Essentials

Artisanal wooden typography starts with Don’s careful hands shaping every letter to perfection. Decorative timber characters go through 7 different steps before they’re finished.

Meticulously shaped characters come alive when Don uses special wooden tools to create smooth connected script words.

Premium woods you can choose from:

  • Baltic Birch Plywood – Perfect for painting
  • Cedar lettering – Keeps moisture away
  • Hickory carved text – Extra strong for big letters
  • Cherry wood typography – Gets darker and richer over time
  • Mahogany word signs – Elegant red-brown color
  • Alder decorative letters – Smooth, even grain

Size & Finishing Options

Personalized wooden namesakes come in two thickness options:.

  • 1/8 thickness – Best for wall-mounted text displays
  • 1/4 thickness – Perfect for freestanding letters that stand up on shelves

Hand-sanded finish makes each letter smooth with 120-grit sanding. Eco-friendly wood pieces arrive ready for you to paint, stain, or display as-is. CNC routed characters ensure every curve looks perfect.

Easy Installation Methods

Workshop crafted typography comes with several mounting choices:.

  • Adhesive backing – Quick stick-on option
  • Hanging strips – Removable without wall damage
  • Flush stud mounts – For a tight fit against walls
  • Projected stud mounts – Creates shadow effects

Family name displays work great in entryways, kitchens, and living spaces. Nursery name art should never hang directly above cribs for safety. Sustainable wood designs from CraftedByDon. com ship quickly, though letters over 24 inches may cost extra to ship.
