Baekdu Seogak, Hand-Carved Wood Signs
A Seoul workshop producing one-off Korean carved-wood signs and plaques shaped around the grain, lettering, location, and intended use.
Field notes
Baekdu Seogak frames each sign as a coordinated commission rather than a fixed product: customers submit photographs, wording, approximate dimensions, schedule, and indoor or outdoor placement before discussing materials and a design. The stated process combines hand-carved lettering with aged domestic timber and European exterior coatings. The homepage documents applications at a traditional space, an overseas ramen restaurant, and a dining venue, while directing inquiries to a Seoul workshop phone number.
