Why Use Welsh Hardwoods for House Signs & Memorial Plaques

Many question the use of hardwoods, and rightly so in the light of what’s happening in the world’s forests today. Yet at the same time Wales has over 100 thousand acres of native broadleaved woodland which is slowly dying on it’s feet for want of thinning and protection. Carefully managed broadleaved woodland can produce a crop of timber indefinitely. Our forefathers understood this, but the 19th century brought cheap imports from tropical rainforests which swamped local markets and led directly to the dereliction of our own woodlands. Coed Cymru has brought together a range of modern and traditional hardwood products from manufacturers all over Wales who are committed to the future of these woodlands. These products are designed to make the best use of thinnings with the minimum of waste. Items sold under the Coed Cymru label use timbers from Welsh woodlands. Coed Cymru is managing these woodlands for the future of wildlife, landscape and the rural economy of Wales.

This plaque was commissioned by a lady from Paignton who wanted a sign for her husband's shed which housed his model railway collection for his birthday. We produce transfers from customers' images or can provide suitable motifs to marry up with the sign.
