About T.R. MacMunn & Sons

Family craftsmen creating enduring, hand-carved wooden signs on the edge of the Canadian Shield.

A Family Tradition in Wood

For over four decades, T.R. MacMunn & Sons has called the village of Sharbot Lake, Ontario home. Surrounded by the lakes, forests and wildlife of the Canadian Shield, our work has always drawn inspiration from the natural world around us.

Every sign is designed after a careful look at the site — its lighting, obstructions, setbacks, ordinances and the distance from which it needs to be read. We believe a sign should be as functional as it is beautiful.

Our team of artists hand-crafts signs in Western Red Cedar, Alaska Yellow Cedar, Bald Cypress, Redwood, Mahogany and HDU. Whether you need a polished storefront sign, a rustic farm marker, a cottage name or a thoughtful gift, we take pride in building the right sign for every customer.

Off the bench, the family's curiosities run to other precision trades. The founder has kept a lifetime interest in fine timepieces, and the question we get most often from customers is where to look at replica watches — we keep the short answer on our resources page.
