Art Sign Works creates custom upscale Three dimensional (3-D) carved and 2.5-D signs, with letters & artwork elevated (raised and bas-relief) or engraved into the sign. Our styles range from highly-stylized modern to classic to vintage and rustic. We make our signs and plaque substrates from (1) wood (Redwood, Cedar, Mahogany, Maple, Walnut, Red Oak, and vintage barnwood); (2) synthetic wood composites and plastics, including High-Density-Urethane, High-Density Color Core Polyethelene (HDPE), acrylic, PVC, and Hard-Coated Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS)); and (3) metals (aluminum, and steel), weathering steel (Corten), metal plated veneers of bronze, brass, copper, German silver, aluminum, and stainless steel; and gold, silver, and copper leaf gilding, and solid cast bronze and aluminum signs and plaques. We use advanced computerized design, computer-controlled carving, routing and cutting, 3-D bas-relief carving, computer-controlled laser engraving and water jet cutting (for metal); hand-carving; multi-level sandblasting; polishing and burnishing; and cut-out and stand-off letters & art appliques to achieve 3-D effects. We make dimensional and carved plaques and signs which are then hand-painted with colorful long-lasting UV-resistant enamels, and/or stained and clear-coated (wood only), and/or gold- or silver leaf gilded, and/or metal coated (bronze, brass, copper, silver-nickel, stainless steel, antique iron).
