House Signs made using Sycamore Wood

Sycamore trees were first brought to the UK within the middle ages and are still used for building and crafting today. House signs made from Sycamore usually will have to be replaced at a certain point as this type of wood perishes within weather conditions and is acceptable to rot and water damage.

Sycamore wood is usually white to yellow when cut and requires a large amount of maintenance if you were to keep this sign outside. When carving into Sycamore is simple and easy due to it being resistant to splitting as the tools slice through it. Sycamore timber is affordable and therefore much easier to find unlike other types of wood.

If you’re looking for a house sign that is immune or less likely to be damaged by weathering, then we recommend you take a look at other materials because house signs made from stone are going need to a lot less maintenance than wood and will last much longer.
