Your last name and the year you became a family, laser cut in real wood for the wall
This last name sign carries your family name in large lettering with your established year underneath. Tell us the name and the year, and we laser cut and engrave the sign in real wood. Pick one of 7 choices on the Stain color menu; the stain colors the whole sign. Choose your lettering too: six fonts for the name and four for the year, all shown on the font chart in the photos. Six sizes are on the Size menu, from a 5.5 x 18 inch shelf size to a 22 x 36 inch statement piece. Each sign is cut to order in our shop in Texas. Free Shipping in the US.
Some gifts get used up. Candles burn down, flowers fade, the bottle gets opened on a Tuesday. A name on the wall stays put.
That is the appeal of an established sign. It marks a starting line. For newlyweds it is the wedding year. For a couple with a new set of keys it is the year they bought the house. For grandparents it might be a date fifty years back, with a whole family tree grown since.
The design is plain on purpose. One name, one year, real wood. It sits easily in a gallery wall, between the family photos and the kids’ school pictures, and it suits a farmhouse kitchen as well as a new-build entry. When you do not know what a couple needs, this is a personal answer that is hard to get wrong.
