If you'd like more or less aging, just let us know in the comments when ordering. Protective Coatings Our signs are very robust but if you are going to expose them to extreme outdoor conditions you may check out our protective coatings options at: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1722235462/optional-protective-coatings Note: All our products are hand crafted on natural woods. Wood knots, pits, slight variations of paint application, etc. are all considered part of the charm of a handmade product and are not considered defects.
