Lol my website seems to get me an order every month or so! I just glued up a sign blank for a customer who wants 2 logs with a fire. Basically a campfire, on the logs will have their names, first, last and the upcoming date they will be married. I planned on hand routing the sign, unless I can get a good pattern?

So I am asking does anyone have a campfire pattern that names can be carved on the 2 logs? I made this one, but it just not right!

Well I need it 14" wide by 24" long and it will be cut out in the shape of the campfire. Hmm I will hand draw the campfire and hand rout the sign! I appreciate the help, I was having the same problem with the ptn I made the length was too small!

Again thanks, I will make the sign tomorrow the blank is dry, but I like to keep it clamped over night. I will post the finished product!

Thanks Greg, but the customer wanted 2 logs and the shape of the sign to be a 2 log campfire! I thought maybe I could get a ptn, but I am glad I hand rout also so no big deal! Well I hope your stay is good! At least the smoke is almost gone and the skies are clear. I see to the west it is still smokey, but not bad. It has been really bad especially this time of day. The smoke was like fog and so bad, ash was falling and you could not stay outside for any time.

Thanks again Eddie I appreciate the ptn!
