New Handcrafted Sign Marks the Home of Crown Point!

Upon moving into our new facility on River Road, Crown Point President Brian Stowell knew we’d need a sign that would convey the beauty and craftsmanship of our cabinetry. He also wanted something welcoming, with classic elements and an architectural feel.

Brian and Fred Puksta, our Product Designer, got to work experimenting with various styles and materials. After several revisions, the design that reflected these goals was a Bungalow style sign with a stone base, two large columns and a shingled roof above.

Using genuine materials, such as stone, Western Red Cedar and copper flashing, Crown Pointers began handcrafting the sign in the cabinet shop early this spring.

Once the warmer weather arrived, a local mason built the stone base with granite caps. Now the sign was ready for Crown Pointers to complete the construction and installation.

Ornamental details such as copper flashing, Craftsman brackets, fish scale shingles and cedar shakes created a stunning period style look.
The center of the sign, made of solid Western Red Cedar, weighs 200 lbs and is held in place by custom designed stainless steel hinges.
The new sign is a wonderful representation of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of our Crown Point Crew. The next time you’re in our neighborhood, come on by and let our beautiful new sign welcome you to our cabinetmaking facility!
