What does this sign say?

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

Where does this go in a kitchen?

Above the sink and on the pantry door are the two most common spots. Above a range it needs to clear the hood; a carved and sealed sign handles kitchen steam better than a paper-faced board, which bubbles at the corners inside a year.

Is it easy to read from across a room?

The carving throws a real shadow, which is what makes it legible at distance. The Medium at 24" x 5.5" reads clearly across a normal kitchen; the Small is better close up.

Are the letters carved or printed?

Carved. Every letter is cut into the wood on a CNC and the piece is then hand-stained. There is no vinyl and no printing, so nothing on the surface can peel, chip or fade off — run a thumb across it and you can feel the letters.

What wood is it made from?

Solid pine or poplar, milled by an Amish sawyer near our shop in Kentucky. Never MDF, plywood or particle board. Pine takes a stain warm and shows its grain; poplar cuts cleaner and gets used where the lettering is finer.

Happiness Is Homemade — and So Is This Sign

Bread, birthday cakes, Sunday dinners, and this sign itself: the good things are made by hand. The carved happiness is homemade sign hangs the kitchen's founding principle in deep-cut solid Kentucky wood — a homemade object saying a homemade truth.

Practice What It Preaches

A sign about homemade shouldn't come off a print roller. Ours is CNC-carved into pine or poplar and stained by hand in one of twenty finishes — the same care as the sourdough and the birthday spreads it will preside over. The letters sit deep and stay put.
