Here are some of my signs from last week. Before you tell me, I know the sign that say's prison is spelled wrong. I posted it on Facebook and was told by a friend before I took it to the customer. Sure wish we had a spell check in project designer. The heart is from the forum and my wife loved it. I am painting two white dogs on a cribbage board, they are a real challenge to show some detail. The table display was at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon that over 100 business attended. I receives a few orders to follow up on. Hope you get some ideas from these.

Nice color on Bill's Cave sign. Lots of good work there. How do you get small text to follow the contour of the heart like that?

Thanks so much Bert and Alan. To make the text follow the contour on the top and the inside I use conform, a excellent add on to your software.

Very nice work Tom.

Carving with our Carvewright is so rewarding.
Not only for our self but for the customer that get the carvings.

Always enjoy viewing your current carvings Tom.

Very nice Tom!! Well looks like you are the master sign maker! I am going out of business we sold our house and I am not sure I will have a shop in Sacramento Ca? Or the area anyway, not to mention I am going to be spending a lot of time with my grand kids!

More impressive work Tom. Your variety and originality always impresses me. Thanks again as all have said for sharing with us. But you've got to do more as you still seem to be taking time to sleep. LOL

Thank you for your kind words Capt Bruce, Rick, Al and Lawrence. Rick I know it will be nice for you to be with your family. Good luck with the move and hopefully you will find time for some signs. The sign I have attached what I sent to a customer yesterday. I think he wants two of these. It is so much fun that the signs are all so different. I had a request yesterday for a sign with a dog and a coconut in his mouth. They also wanted a chicken and a palm tree . I was able to put that all together and they paid for it today. Today I rest with my wonderful wife. Have a great Sunday.

Tom very nice work.. I was wondering how do you get the jagged edges on your signs?? Is it a pattern or something you come up with on you own?? Thanks for any help.

Nice sign Tom.

Is some of the sign just painted and not carved, such as the coffee cup area??

Love the heart box, where did you get the pattern for that? I am glad you like them so much the jagged edge signs are called old signs are from the forum. If you can't find it send me a pm. I am not sure where I received the heart, I think it was from the forum too. Send me a pm and I will check it out. Robert the whole sign coffee sign will be carved, this picture is how it will look. I am carving it this week so stay tuned for the final picture.

Thanks for the compliment's. Yes this is what GrammaPam, part of our users group, does for me to send to the customer when they want to see what the colors will look like.

Nice looking signs Tom. You will want to check for spelling errors though; "prison" is misspelled. Sorry to be the spelling nazi, but I don't think that's the kind of advertising you want.

I do like those crisp letters in all your signs. What do you use for painting colors? And what top coat do you use?

Thanks Underdog , That was caught and corrected last week before they left my shop. I did not want to correct the picture for you guys. Sure wish spell check worked on designer like it does here.

Tom you really amaze me with the painting, I have a hard time with the paint but as leaning the carvewright I'll learn to paint too.
