Zinc Plate with Raised Letters

These hand-painted and hand-finished memorial plaques are made from zinc plate, which is strong and tough and does not rust or tarnish. The background is etched away, leaving the lettering, numbers, border, and images raised.

These plaques are ideal for commemorative and memorial purposes due to their durability, longevity, and maintenance-free nature. They can incorporate detailed, full-colour images, including military badges, family coats of arms, national flags, or your own artwork.

These plaques are also for heritage settings with their traditional appearance and being maintenance free.

SandBlasting Service For North Devon & Exmoor Area

Our craftsmen, who have sandblasted signs for many years, were so often asked to blast other items that we decided to add the service to our website. We can blast clean anything, from bike parts to garden chairs and bread oven doors to old tractors!

Builders often bring in new oak beams to sandblast them, adding a bit of age.  We also sand blast timber to create for a driftwood effect. 

We have several mediums depending on the finish required. 

Taxidermy Shields & Award Plaques

As well as wooden signs, our carpenters can make virtually any taxidermy shields or trophy plaques in any of our timbers and to almost any shape and size. We do not use veneer! All the plaques, shields and bases are solid timber, with oak being the most popular. We have created several standard sizes in oak, which are good value. These can be supplied in the natural finish or a darker antique look finish. They can also be left untreated or painted. The 19mm thickness is for indoor use only, whereas the 24mm thickness can be used outside. As an alternative to oak, we also use wide board sapele, which is very stable. It looks similar to mahogany and can be used indoors or outside.

Engraved Brass Memorial Plaque

Brass has a long history of use in crafting memorials, including plaques for graves. Traditionally, brass plaques are engraved with unpainted lettering in a classic script font. However, at The Sign Maker, we offer contemporary options to personalize your memorial. We can modernise your brass plaque with painted lettering and a variety of font choices to suit your preferences.

To enhance your brass memorial plaque, consider adding a wooden backing board. For grave memorials, we also offer the option of an oak memorial cross to which the plaque can be mounted, creating a beautiful and enduring tribute.

NB Solid colour cut vinyl lettering will have twice the life span as a full-colour digital print. However, to help extend the life of digital print, we do laminate i
