About our custom-made signs:

History of Ould Colony Artisans
Founded in 1987 by Bob and Judi Leonard, Ould Colony Artisans has been painting signs and coats of arms with their unique artistic approach; producing signs ranging from the truly authentic to the most fanciful designs. In 2022, Ould Colony Artisans was purchased by and became a subsidiary of HandPaintedWoodSigns.com, a decades-long established maker of high-quality genuine reproduction solid wood signs. Ould Colony Artisans continues to serve the needs of historic house plaques to the historic society market.
Our website features 5 categories of products: decorative signs, historic signs, tavern-style signs, commercial/historic site signs, and heraldic coats of arms. Examples of our work shown in these different categories give an idea of the variety of shapes, colours, lettering styles, etc. we can offer.
About Ould Colony Artisans Signs
Sign Materials:
• Sign board: Since most signs are placed outdoors, we use ½” or ¾” MDO (Medium density overlay). We also use pine boards. Our coats of arms are painted on pine plaques with molded edges.
• Paints: Highest quality oil-based primer and top coat enamel in a great variety of colours to satisfy the needs of your specific project.
• Hardware: For signage to be mounted on buildings, 1½” stainless steel screws with painted heads are provided. Otherwise, brackets with the appropriate hardware are made available.
Sign copy:
We offer great flexibility regarding lettering styles, number of lines and images. After discussing your project, if desired, we can submit a proposal for your approval.

A Note of Thanks from Bob’s Family
With sadness, we announce the passing of Bob Leonard in December 2021. He was loved by so many and his legacy will remain in each and every sign he lovingly made over many decades. By arrangement with the Leonard Family, Bob’s signwork will be continued by signmaker Tim Kearns at HandPaintedWoodSigns.com .
