Cedar is often used naturally; however, most wood scientists encourage a finish treatment. Over time the color of cedar will slowly weather to a silver-gray, and the grain will become raised. While this has an appeal for some applications, all of our signs are shipped finished with this formula to begin an annual cycle of renewal!

Interestingly, Spar Varnish, Poly-Urethane and other marine finishes are actually not at all satisfactory – even, harmful because of a mini-greenhouse effect. Our Single finish system is formulated to enhance the natural durability and appearance of western red cedar - protecting it from graying for a minimum of two years providing a rich finish, enhancing cedar's natural beauty thanks to its unique Sun-Blocking, UV protection. I built a ten year old cedar post and mailbox that looks as nice as the day I installed it!

The easiest way to maintain your Carved Wood Signs is to apply a refresher coat of our wood finish formula each summer. Using this handy mister, apply until wet and just about to drip. The biggest mistake you can make is to not use enough. Protect the surrounding area and do both sides and edges. Each 3.5 oz spray bottle comes with two spray heads and liquid tubes to ensure long term ease of use. There's plenty for years of applications! MUST SHIP UPS GROUND ONLY.....
