Wood Finishes

Urban Deer Etched Wood Sign

We do not use high gloss finishes on our wood signs. Our finishes are used to highlight the natural beauty of the wood grain without making it appear fake or gaudy.

Indoor signs are finished with satin or semi-gloss polyurethane, and outdoor signs are finished with satin spar urethane or teak oil. The oil finish is between matte and satin, depending on the wood being used.
