Live Edge Wood Sign
Real wood sign made from salvaged full-width wood slabs with double live/raw edges (typically cedar, but others are available such as Cherry, Walnut, Oak, Maple and others). The first example project measures about 24" wide x 18" tall x 1-1/2" thick. The second one is 15" wide x about 20" tall. The difference between them is the second one has sandblasted lettering, then painted to give some depth and texture. The price as noted is for a substantially similar sign. Design time is extra though simple layouts are typically included at no extra charge. As this is handmade from imperfect materials, some variations will exist between each one, but that's what makes these unique and more appealing. Other sizes, colors and sayings are available, just ask! *** When sending an inquiry, please specify the overall size, color scheme and wording you want ***

For Giraffe Wall Art Decor Cut-Out Wood Sign5.0Chris created a giraffe cut-out wood sign for a new grandchild's nursery. It was exactly what I wanted and it is just beautiful. He communicated with me several times to be certain of what I envisioned. I couldn't be happier with the finished product!

For Custom Rustic Wood Sign4.7Chris did a beautiful job - it was just what I wanted! The only small issue was that I was hoping to receive it by my anniversary and it arrived 2 days late - not a big deal really, but would have been nice to have it sooner. Overall, it's perfect and I'm very happy! I would definitely use Chris again.

For Farmhouse Dining Table5.0I enjoyed very much working with Wood Monkey Studio and specifically with Chris. He was very professional, passionate about the project and he made sure that he clearly understood what I wanted. He was also patient when i changed my mind about what I wanted. As I changed my mind, he made sure that we were on the same page before signing the agreement. He kept me informed of the process and completed the project on time.

For Live Edge Wood Sign5.0I went online looking for someone to craft a special present for my parents anniversary. When I found customemade.com and looked through all the beautifully made items, Chris's work really stood out to me. I already had an idea of how I wanted this sign to look in my head and Chris knew exactly what I was describing and made my vision into a reality. He was kind, knowledge, and made the process quick and easy. I'll definitely go to him for any other projects that spring to mind. Thank you!!
