A sign-making family builds an inn
A little more carving, a little more sculpting, a little more painting...

The Hazelnut Inn project has now been underway for four long years. The inn is on the grounds of our shop and will cater to our newlywed and anniversary guests. Since it is a personal project for our team, this job must fit around the paying shop work in our shop.
On top of that, every square inch of the project is being lavished with exquisitely detailed work that is the best we’ve ever done. This is not a rush job. The project is intended to be a luxurious place to stay and also a fabulous showcase of our work. We estimate it will still be another year or possibly two before we welcome our first guest. I thought it was time for a progress update for SignCraft readers.
The Inn will be a showcase of how to do masterful visual marketing. To say eye candy is abundant would be a massive understatement. We know guests will be hard pressed to not stop every few steps and take a picture.
