Expertly Crafted Timber Honour Boards for Lasting Legacy - Delivered Australia-wide.
Do you deliver anywhere in Australia
We sure do and have done for decades. We crate them up and ship them Australia-wide every week.
What materials are Timber Honourboards made from?
Our timber honour boards are crafted from veneer-laminated MDF Board, which is made from recycled wood fibre and a low-emission resin binder.
Can I choose the wood colour and finish?
Yes, we offer a range of finishes, including natural timber tones. You can also choose your colour or stain, and you can have your honour board made to match your existing boards. Non-standard colours and matching incur additional fees.
We use a Saturn finish to give the honour boards a prestigious yet non-reflective finish under normal conditions.
Can I include my logo or crest on the board?
Yes, we can add full-colour logos or engraved crests as part of the design. Some options for this are:
How many names can fit on a board?
It depends on the layout and size. We’ll guide you on the best fit for your board size and future needs. See our All About Honour Boards pages for more details.
Basically:
Can I choose different fonts or text styles?
We typically use Arial as our standard font, as it is clean and clear, but we can use other fonts if you prefer. Some fonts, such as Serif style, may not be suitable or increase costs due to the fine lines that are slower to cut and apply.
Will I see a proof before the artwork is put into production?
We provide a visual layout proof for approval before commencing imprint production.
Can I change the size or style after I have placed the order?
Yes, however, if we have commenced making your honour board, we can’t offer you a refund on that board as they are all made to order.
How is the lettering done?
Honour board names are created with vinyl lettering these days. We use Gold, Black, or white vinyl lettering. If you require a colour other than these standard colours, such as blue or green, we can provide this, but it will incur additional charges.
Can you do Gold Leaf Lettering?
The traditional hand-painted gold leafing method can also be done, but it is costly and needs to be quoted by our gold leaf partner. Our Partner can update your board annually at your site if it is located in the Sydney Metro area.
How do I update the board with new names?
Please send us the new name requirements, and we will provide you with the names ready to apply. We have a record of your layout, so we can prepare exact lettering. You can apply the lettering yourself, or we can arrange to come out and do it for you.
It's straightforward to do it yourself, and we provide you with an instruction sheet and a video on how to do it.
Do you offer an update service?
Yes — we offer a name updating service, or you can request mailed updates to apply yourself.
It's easy to do it yourself and save money; we provide you with an instruction sheet and a video on how to do it.
Will the updates match the original spacing and layout?
Yes, we keep a record of your board’s measurements, so every update matches perfectly.
How long does production take?
Standard production time is typically 4 weeks after design approval. Custom orders may vary depending on their complexity. If you need it sooner, please reach out, and we will see if we can accommodate your needs.
Do you deliver Australia Wide?
We sure do. We ship honour boards safely and securely anywhere every week.
Is installation included in the price?
Installation is not included but can be quoted separately.
Do you come out and install the honour boards?
Yes, we can do that for the Sydney area. We may also have a contractor in your area who can do the installation. Or you could find a local Handyman to install it for you.
How are the honour boards mounted?
Traditional boards use a timber hanging rail. Contemporary boards come with a hanging rail or metal standoff pins for a floating effect. Small boards come with hooks.
