-
Step-by-step instruction leaflet with guidance on preparing, oiling and maintaining your sign

Danish Oil or Osmo Oil?
Both finishes are suitable for outdoor oak signage, but they offer slightly different levels of protection and maintenance requirements.
Superior Danish Oil provides a beautiful, natural finish and helps protect the oak from everyday outdoor exposure. It does require more regular maintenance, with the oil needing to be reapplied periodically to keep the timber nourished and protected.
Osmo Oil provides a higher level of protection against the elements and is designed to offer longer-lasting outdoor protection. As a result, signs finished with Osmo generally do not need to be re-oiled as frequently as those finished with Danish Oil, making it a particularly good option if you want to reduce ongoing maintenance.
If you're unsure which finish is right for your sign, we recommend reading our guide to how to care for and maintain your wooden outdoor signage. In the blog, we compare Danish Oil and Osmo Oil in more detail, including their protection, appearance and ongoing maintenance requirements.
Whether you've chosen Danish Oil or Osmo Oil, regular aftercare is an important part of keeping your oak signage looking its best and protecting it from the outdoor elements.
Looking after your sign has never been simpler — and with everything you need in one handy kit, you can keep your handcrafted oak signage looking beautiful for years to come.

After Care
About Oak
Wood is a natural material that naturally responds to changes in temperature and humidity by expanding and contracting. While these shifts are typically minor, you may notice small hairline cracks over time—this is a natural characteristic that adds to the wood’s unique charm. Seasonal changes can also cause slight movement in the timber, which is completely normal and expected as part of its aging process.
After Care
Regular care is essential to keep your product in top condition. We recommend treating the wood with Danish oil or a similar timber treatment to nourish and protect it. This helps prevent drying out, discoloration, staining, cracking, and warping, ensuring its longevity and beauty over time.

FAQ's
Can I approve my design before you begin engraving?
Absolutely! We’ll never engrave anything until you’ve confirmed the design. After your order, we’ll email you design options for approval. Feel free to share any preferences, and we’ll refine the design until you’re completely happy. No engraving will take place until you give the final confirmation.
How do I choose my font?
We can engrave nearly any font. We’ll provide a range of font options for you to choose from. If you have a specific font in mind, just mention it in the additional instructions, and we’ll include it. You can also let us know your style preferences, and we’ll tailor the choices accordingly. If you’re unsure, we’ll still provide a variety for you to pick from.
How do I choose the colour for my engraving?
Choosing an engraving colour comes down to both aesthetic preference and how the product will be used.
- White offers the highest contrast, making it ideal for clear visibility.
- Black is a more traditional option that still provides strong contrast.
- Natural / unpainted engravings suit interior and household décor items best, rather than signage.
- Reflective paint has a subtle silver tone and contains light-reflecting pigments, giving it the best visibility at night. This works best with bolder fonts, which will be reflected in the available design options.
You can read more about reflective finishes in our blog post.
If you have a custom colour in mind, please get in touch — we’re always happy to source a specific finish for you.
How do I add a logo or emblem to my order?
Please use the 'Upload Logo/Emblem' option when placing your order so that we can include it in your designs and use the 'Additional Instructions' to let us know how are where you would like it to be included,
Please send your image to If you are not able to upload the image then please email it to info@graindesigns.co.uk.
If your emblem or logo is particularly detailed or intricate, there is a chance it may not translate fully when engraved. In these cases, we recommend emailing it to us before placing your order — we’re happy to review it and provide proofs so you can be confident the final result meets your expectations.
