Hello all,
It has been a while since I have posted any project or any pics of projects. I have spent the last 2 years retiring, moving 3 times, starting 2 different jobs and almost the last year setting up my 2 car garage as a now crowded work shop.
Now to what I am posting about. My brother and I spent April and May this year converting one of his garages into a small Bait Shop and Convenience Store near one of 4 lakes he has been fishing for years. The sign is Spalted Oak that Air Dried for almost 2 years. The wood was covered with a tarp that had leaked. I took it home planed it and was trying to figure out what I wanted to make with it. It measures 9'x11"x1.5" I traced the letters then free hand routed it. I used Ebony Stain and 3 coats of Spar urethane front and back. I am in the process of making 3 other signs for his business.
Thanks for looking, This was the largest sign project so far, but plan to make an even larger sign.
