Project description
We are looking for a skilled woodworker to create a custom carved wooden house number plaque that we can mount near our front door. Our current metal numbers are rusted and look tired next to the new siding, and we want something warm and handmade that guests and delivery drivers can read clearly from the street.
The plaque should be solid wood, not plywood or MDF, and the numbers should be deeply carved or routed rather than just painted on, so the digits stay legible even as the finish weathers over the years. We are open to a rectangular, oval, or arched shape and would like to discuss a couple of design sketches before any cutting begins. A natural or lightly stained finish that shows the wood grain is preferred, but we are flexible if a painted or two-tone look would work better with the design.
This sign will live outdoors under a small porch roof, so it needs a finish that can handle rain, sun, and temperature swings without cracking or peeling within the first couple of seasons. Please include your recommendation for wood species (cedar, oak, walnut, or similar) and exterior sealant in your proposal, along with mounting hardware suitable for a brick or siding wall.
— Solid wood plaque, carved or deeply routed house number
— Weatherproof exterior finish rated for years outdoors
— Design sketch or mockup approved before carving starts
— Mounting hardware included and installation instructions
— Delivery within the agreed timeframe, securely packaged
