Allweather Wood Crafts Timeless Bank Signage, Blending Tradition with Durability

Santa Rosa, CA – October 26, 2023 – Allweather Wood LLC, a leading craftsman of high-quality, weather-resistant wood products, recently completed a stunning, custom-made sign for American National Bank, showcasing their dedication to blending traditional aesthetics with long-lasting performance. The sign, meticulously crafted from premium wood, isn’t just a bank identifier; it’s a statement about the bank’s heritage and commitment to the community. Allweather Wood, located at 3700 Old Redwood Hwy, Ste 200, Santa Rosa, CA, 95403, United States (and reachable at 617-951-4512), has been quietly building a reputation for transforming architectural visions into reality. They specialize in creating durable, beautiful wood elements for a wide range of applications – from outdoor signage and building facades to custom furniture and architectural details. What sets them apart is their unwavering commitment to using high-quality materials and employing time-honored woodworking techniques, combined with modern weather-proofing technology. “We’re not just building signs, we’re building lasting impressions,” says a spokesperson for Allweather Wood. “For American National Bank, we understood the importance of conveying stability, trustworthiness, and a sense of history. A weathered plastic sign just wouldn’t cut it.” A Close Look at the American National Bank Sign The American National Bank sign, commissioned earlier this year, presented a unique challenge. The bank wanted a sign that evoked a classic, turn-of-the-century banking aesthetic, reminiscent of the solid, dependable financial institutions of the past. However, they also needed a sign that could withstand the harsh California climate – intense sun, frequent rain, and fluctuating temperatures. Allweather Wood’s team rose to the occasion. They opted for a robust, naturally durable hardwood – specifically, redwood, sourced from sustainably managed forests. Redwood's inherent resistance to decay, insects, and moisture made it an ideal choice for an exterior sign destined to endure the elements. The design itself is a nod to classic banking signage. The bank’s name, “American National Bank,” is rendered in elegant, raised lettering. The lettering isn’t simply applied to the wood; it's meticulously carved directly from the redwood, creating a three-dimensional effect that adds depth and sophistication. "We spent a lot of time getting the font just right," explains the lead designer on the project. “The bank wanted something that felt traditional, but also legible from a distance. We went through dozens of iterations before settling on a serif typeface that captured the perfect balance of elegance and clarity.” But the real magic lies in the finishing process. Allweather Wood didn't simply stain or paint the sign. They employed a multi-step process involving careful sanding, a penetrating oil finish, and a specialized UV-resistant coating. This combination not only enhances the natural beauty of the redwood but also provides unparalleled protection against the elements. The oil finish penetrates deep into the wood fibers, nourishing and hydrating the material, preventing cracking and warping. The UV-resistant coating acts as a shield against the damaging effects of sunlight, preventing fading and discoloration. The result is a sign that looks beautiful today and will continue to look beautiful for years to come.
