They specialize in really good wood – specifically, redwood, cedar, and other naturally durable materials. They don’t just make signs, they craft them. And it shows. “We’ve seen a lot of companies cut corners on signage,” says a spokesperson for Allweather Wood. “But first impressions matter. A well-crafted sign communicates stability, trustworthiness, and attention to detail – all things a bank needs to project.” The American National Bank Project: A Blend of Tradition and Durability The new sign for American National Bank wasn’t a simple off-the-shelf piece. The bank wanted something that reflected its history and commitment to the community, but also stood up to the elements – and years of wear and tear. That’s where Allweather Wood’s expertise really shined. “American National Bank came to us wanting a sign that felt classic and solid, but wasn’t overly ornate,” explains the lead designer on the project. “They wanted it to be…well, bank-like. Something that said ‘we’ve been here a long time, we’re reliable, and we take care of our customers’.” The solution? A beautifully carved redwood sign, featuring the bank’s logo and name in a classic serif typeface. But it wasn’t just the wood choice. Every detail was carefully considered. What Makes Allweather Wood Different? It's All About the Details. Allweather Wood doesn’t just source wood; they understand it. They know how different species weather, how to treat them for maximum longevity, and how to work with the natural grain to create a visually stunning piece. Here’s a breakdown of what went into the American National Bank sign: Material Selection: The team opted for premium-grade redwood. Redwood is naturally resistant to decay, insects, and moisture – crucial for an outdoor sign in California’s diverse climate. It also ages beautifully, developing a rich patina over time. Design & Carving: The bank’s logo and name were meticulously carved into the redwood using a combination of traditional hand-carving techniques and modern CNC routing. This allowed for incredible precision and detail. “We really focused on getting the curves of the letters just right,” says the designer. “Those little details make a huge difference.” Finishing & Protection: After carving, the sign was carefully sanded and finished with a marine-grade sealant and UV protectant. This protects the wood from the elements, prevents fading, and ensures the sign remains looking its best for years to come. “We want this sign to last a long time,” the spokesperson emphasizes. “We’re talking decades.” Mounting & Installation: Allweather Wood also handled the mounting and installation of the sign, ensuring it was securely and professionally installed. They understand that a beautiful sign is useless if it’s hanging crooked or falling apart. Beyond Banking: Who is Allweather Wood Serving?
