About Us
Who We Are
We are a family-operated wood shop trying to bring a little bit of vacation to your backyard with our handcrafted, “weathered” directional Island Beach Signs.
Our family wood shop designs and builds custom handmade furniture and decor. A couple of years ago, I was contacted by a customer who wanted a sign to remind her of her favorite place, Aruba. She told me the name of her five favorite beaches and I designed the “original” Aruba Beach Sign. The customer posted the sign to an Aruba Facebook group and in that first day it received over 700 likes. Then the orders starting coming in. For the last couple of years, I have been bringing a little bit of Aruba to backyards everywhere.
As the demand for Aruba Beach Signs grew, I needed to bring in some additional help, so I turned to my family. My uncle, a woodworker who has helped guide me over the years, joined with me and helped to meet the demand for Aruba Beach Signs. Together we have been building and shipping these signs all across the United States. As requests for additional locations and signs for other islands have been growing, the Island Beach Sign Company was born.
A Few Words About
Our Signs
We bring a combined 30+ years of experience building custom handmade furniture and décor for people. Our Island Beach Signs are made from old lumber that we reclaim that includes a variety of oak, poplar, pine and maple boards that range from ½” to ¾” in thickness. Reclaimed wood is naturally distressed, with beautiful wood grain, nail holes and knots that give these signs unique character and a weathered appearance. Though each of our signs have a similar design, being made from reclaimed wood, your sign will be unique from anyone else’s sign (here are some examples of the subtle differences using reclaimed wood makes). We also create a further weathered appearance by carving the edges of our signs to make them look like they have been out on display at the beach for years (see pic of the sign blanks just finished being carved up). Our signs are also sealed with multiple coats of an exterior wood sealant for protection from weather and UV Rays. We take pride in the quality of the product from our wood shop and providing something that will last to our customers.
