What does this sign say?

It reads “Carved Wood Warning”, carved into the wood and hand-stained. The wording is fixed — this design is not personalised, so what you see is what arrives.

Is this a safe gift for somebody else's house?

Yes. It carries no name or date to get wrong, so there is no spelling to confirm and no guess to make. It suits a housewarming, a wedding or a milestone anniversary.

Where do family signs usually hang?

Entryways and mantels take the shorter lines; kitchens and living rooms suit the longer ones, because those are the rooms people sit in long enough to read them.

What sizes does it come in?

Three: Small at 16" x 3.5", Medium at 24" x 5.5", and Large at 30" x 7.25". The Small suits a narrow wall or a shelf lean, the Medium is the one most people choose, and the Large is sized to anchor a wall on its own.

What finishes can I choose from?

Twenty. Stains run from Early American and Dark Walnut through Briarsmoke, Weathered Gray and Aged Barrel, and there are solid paints in White, Black and Gray. Every one is hand-applied, so the grain still reads through the stains.

Fuck Around and Find Out Sign | Carved Wood Warning

Fuck Around and Find Out — Say It Once, In Solid Wood

Some rules need a paragraph. This one needs six words. The Fuck Around and Find Out sign is the shortest complete warning ever written — cause, effect, and consequences, carved deep into solid wood and hung where everyone can read the policy for themselves.

Carved, Not Printed

The letters are CNC-carved into solid Kentucky pine or poplar, then hand-stained and sealed. That matters for a sign like this: a printed FAFO poster is a meme, but carved wood is a commitment. No vinyl, no stickers, nothing that peels — the words are part of the board, permanently, through every season and every test of the policy.

Where It Does Its Best Work

Garage or workshop — posted policy for tool borrowers
Home bar or man cave — the house rule, framed
Office or desk wall — HR-adjacent, technically decorative
Entryway — for households that warn people honestly
