This sign is beautiful with a solid black background, blue stripe and white lettering. All my signs are secured with wood glue and nails. Each sign comes with D hooks for hanging. Each sign is top coated with General Finished Matte finish. Outdoor topcoat is available, which would have to be specially ordered. Since I custom make my signs using reclaimed wood, each sign has natural imperfections such as knots, nicks and holes. Each sign is one of a kind and will vary slightly in colors as the wood takes our finishing stains/paint differently.
