We have done machine embroidery for many years and had a custom embroidered name and address embellished with colorful embroidery on our large mail box. It got dingy over the years and we took it off, but never got around to putting something back with ANY numbers on it. I had a package coming from CarveWright that I didn't know even shipping that was delivered Good Friday by a driver that never delivered here before. He chastised me about not having our address on the mail box. And I knew he was right, so I decided to carve a new one. After replacing my QC with the new carvetight and the zmotor kit I tried it all out on this.

My wife painted and distressed it to sort of look old and a bit rustic. Our mail box is in our driveway, so one side will face the road and the other side will be what people leaving see as they reach the road.

I just sprayed the last coat of clear coat protectant on it and letting it dry. Going to add a couple of solar LED lamps on the ends when I find the right ones for the look and hang it all on the mailbox post.

Thank You everyone. I was in the process of trying to cutout something to fit a couple of small solar LED path lights in that would look something like and old oil or candle lamp to fix to both ends, and I decided that was more trouble than it would be worth to me. I have found some lights online that will look better, and be cheaper in time and money I think that will illuminate the sign after dark. At least so in the shorter days of the year when it's dark early the UPS man can see my address. ;)
