Cedar Signs

These signs can be done in Western Cedar, which is light brown, or Eastern Aromatic Cedar, which is red. The text can be inset or can be standing above the background. The edges can be straight, like the Caesar's Oficina and Eastside H.O.W signs, saw tooth, like the Row The Boat sign, or natural, like the others. ————————————————————— KEYWORDS: signs, wooden signs, wood sign, wood signs, carved sign, natural sign, door sign, small sign, cedar sign, house sign, location sign, name sign, special sign, organization

  • Long-time member

    A Maker who has been a valued part of this community for several years.

  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I have been making from wood for as long as I can remember. I take a great deal of pride in my work and will not accept a commission if I am not entirely sure I can complete it to your satisfaction. ShopDog Turnery is a one-person, one-dog operation making all sorts of custom items, primarily lathe based. This includes bottle-stoppers, wine glasses (with glass or wooden bowls), platters and plates, bowls, boxes, and whatever else springs to mind.

In addition to lathe work I make various flat pieces; tables, specialty boxes, cutting boards and, again, whatever else springs to mind.

I make for the joy of the making, using sustainably harvested and reclaimed or historical woods exclusively.

Molly was the ShopDog, but is no longer with us. She did all the "RUFF" work in the turnery.

    Jim is a true pro and a very talented artist. He communicated with me about my project immediately and pushed it up on his priority list so that I could have it in time to give as a gift. Myself and the gift "receiver" LOVED his work. Thanks Jim!

    Working with Jim Barbour was a very positive experience. I especially liked Mr. Barbour's prompt communications with me about my custom, personalized cutting board project and I was promptly informed of the status of my project along the way. I highly recommend this craftsman.
