One of the nice advantages of cnc work is being able to recycle vectors and use them in new projects. I used the gator from my Scott’s Chlll & Grill sign to make this 23" x 11" welcome sign. Even the shape of the sign was recycled from the earlier sign (with a slight modification).
The wood is one of those glued-up Lowe’s panels. The background color is Rustoleum red primer. I’d like to tell you about all the hours I spent mixing exotic wood dyes to color the gator, but in truth I just used some craft permanent markers. All I had to do was color inside the lines. I like how the wood grain still shows through. After a few coats of gloss finish it will be done.
