Sawdust City Wooden Sign - Motto to Live by: Life Should Not Be A Journey to The Grave (Old Cream)

Sawdust City wood signs with sayings are great wall decor for every home wanting to add their own personal touch to their space. With a wide range of sizes, colors, and topics, we have a sign for every season or reason!

We hand-make every sign from raw lumber all the way to finished piece. First, we bevel the edges of most of our signs to give a classic "frame" for the sign's design. With smaller signs, we leave the edges flat so you can either hang the sign or display it on a flat surface. For hanging, we route a simple slot in the back to make it easy to hang on a small nail, screw, or even push-pin. Yes, really!

After painting, the sign goes to printing to apply the design. Finally, we stain the sanded edges to give a warm, aged look, and your sign is ready to ship to you!

Our knotty pine signs do not use highly processed wood. The final look and finish is intended to be rustic and aged, with visible knots and other minor imperfections.

Making Signs for Over 20 Years

Real Wood

At Sawdust City, we use real wood, not particle board or MDF. Solid knotty pine means you can expect knots and other small imperfections that make each piece unique.

Hand Made

We paint, sand, print, and stain every sign by hand. We make each sign to order, and we've honed our process so that we can get your sign shipped within days.

A Classic Look

We have thousands of designs, and over 40 colors of paint and stains. Whatever your style, both in decor and sentiment, we have a sign for every season and reason!

How to Hang a Sign

We make it easy to hang your new sign. We don't add anything to the sign like sawtooth or ring hangers to scratch your walls. Our routed slot in back makes it simple to line up to a small screw or nail. Our signs are even light enough that it's usually not necessary to anchor to a stud. However, you know your walls best, so use your discretion in hanging your sign in a safe place.

1. Place a nail, screw, or push-pin in the wall in your desired location.
   
2. Line up the routed slot on the back of the sign with the nail.
   
3. Press sign flush against the wall.
   
4. If the sign is crooked, slide left to right on the nail until the sign balances.
