Welcome to Life In Grain on Etsy! We specialize in carved wood signs of all kinds.
From family name signs to wedding signs to family established signs to quote signs
to baby stats signs to realtor signs – we do it all!
These are REAL wood signs, not MDF, plywood or other "wood" alternatives. Every sign is carved into the wood which gives a depth that no other process can replicate. Unlike painted signs or decals, this deep carving method will ensure that the sign will last for generations!
We love custom orders! Just send us a message or email with your ideas and we'll make them a reality.
All products are proudly handmade in Northern Ohio, USA.
Thanks for visiting Life In Grain!

5 out of 5 starsI had bought 2 of these one for my son and for my daughter. I absolutely love them ! I was able to customize what side the flowers went on as well 😊 For one of them they were having issues with the machine so they gave me a coupon and one day shipping when it was fixed and they finished it. I couldn't have asked for anything better 💙💗 Thank you so much !

5 out of 5 starsVery stable, easy to see score, easy to put together and transport, and excellent design! My husband loved his Father's Day gift this year! The Milwaukee Brewer logo was perfect and matches the Cornhole boards we already have.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to ship my order?
All of our items are made to order and processing times vary throughout the year. Each item will have an estimated delivery date listed in the "Shipping & returns" section.
We always strive to meet this date, however it is just an estimate and may vary depending on current workload. If you need your item by a certain date, be sure to let us know! Sometimes we can accommodate certain requests if enough notice is given.
Can I see a proof before you carve my sign?
Absolutely! We provide a free design proof, upon request, with custom or personalized orders. Please note that due to the time involved in designing, we only provide design proofs for completed orders. You can make unlimited changes to your design if necessary.
We will send the design proof via Etsy messaging so please be sure to check your messages approx 1-3 business days after your order is placed. In order to maintain our schedule, we allow 24 hours for approval. If we do not receive a response within 24 hours, we will proceed with the order as designed.
How do I care for my sign?
We recommend indoor display for all of our wood items due to the nature of wood to warp, fade and/or decay outdoors. When displayed indoors, the only care necessary is an occasional dusting. No need for additional finishes to be applied. Please do not use chemical cleaners or wood polishes as this will negatively affect the finish of the wood.
If outdoor display is required, we can use a wood that is more suitable to the outdoors and apply a spar urethane finish to further protect the wood from the elements. This urethane finish would need to be re-applied annually. When choosing an outdoor location for display, an area that is out of the rain/snow and direct sunlight is best (under a porch overhang is ideal)
What if I give the wrong information or misspell something?
Check your spelling! We can't stress this enough!
If you realize that the wrong information was provided with the order, please notify us immediately. If we have not begun carving your order, we may still be able to change the design. If carving has begun, unfortunately there is nothing we can do to "fix"it. We can offer a discount on a replacement sign if you would like to correct the mistake.
We always double and triple check that the names and dates we carve match the information provided. However, it is possible for us to make mistakes as well. If we do, please let us know and we will get a replacement to you as soon as possible, free of charge.
