You tell me what your house sign should look like, and then I shall make it.
You've probably got an idea of what you want, how you would like your new house sign to appear. There are no software or computer constraints here, take that vision and through me we shall make it happen.
What part of my new house sign is Scottish?
The whole process remains here in Scotland. It's grown here, milled here, crafted here and then displayed on your Scottish home.
The examples shown on this page are a spectrum of the options available, but every one I make is unique and bespoke and yours will be too.
It's your house, so let's get it right - you can expect a highly personal service from me Robert and you will be dealing with me from the start.

Perhaps you're looking for a sign to elevate the appearance of your house?
The design process is exciting and fun. It's also free.
The most successful house signs are those that have been thought through carefully and the first step will be that you and I work on several design ideas that you can look through and suggest amendments and whether to include personalised aspects to make your house sign elegant and special.
I often make patriotic images in different forms, shapes and sizes.
Highly accurate hand painted images, they are not printed or stuck on, I paint them by hand and individually. Just tell me what image you would like on your house sign or plaque.
Before
The hand written name sign serves a function, but does nothing to elevate the appearance or gravitas of the distinctive architecture.
After
Note: this carefully thought design is 'Bauhaus' which is often abstract, angular, and geometric. The whole image is uplifted and is enhanced with the colour of the text matched to the patio colour.
Each house sign is bespoke and individually designed to meet your need perfectly.
Rear view of the same sign, you can see the round posts are directly bonded to the back, so the whole thing is one piece.
I often make posts and fixings individually too, either to be appropriate to the design of the sign or for practical considerations, just ask for details.
All styles and fashions, from traditional, through modernist to contemporary and natural. Almost anything is possible here.
Sculpted signs made to order and site specific. 'Dellside' has an accurate mountain landscape
along the top.
Sculpted top sections can be landscapes, but they can also be flora and fauna or even contemporary subjects like cars or lorries, almost anything.

Scotland's Rural Business Community
I'm Robert of Ingrained Culture I'm a woodcarver and artificer. I believe in Scotland's rural heritage and contemporary businesses. All the wood I use for everything from House Signs to Garden Sculpture is made exclusively from 100% local and sustainable 'Scottish Working Woods' compliant local timber. Sourced from a Scottish saw mill, also a member of Scottish Working Woods, and founding member of the Association of Scottish Harwood Saw Millers, so you know you have the genuine product.
I hold the certification mark
The Galloway & Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere has been recognised internationally as a
world class environment for people and nature.
UNESCO sustainable Development Goal.
Number 15: Life on land
For example, my workshop is in the grounds of my isolated home and I built it on low stilts so it provides a sheltered environment underneath for small mammals and other tiny life. The structure is all wooden and the use of concrete is restricted to small independent slabs on which the stilts stand, about 10% of what a solid concrete floor would have used.
The brief video below shows me making a natural fence.
