Great work, I just came in the house from working on a large oval sign for a farmhouse from 1826. Next step paint.

Looks great Perry. Nice shape and choice of Font and colors. Sounds like you will be busy.

A very professional looking sign. Looks like you'll be busy with the 3 other signs.... and probably a few more once those are done.

Very Nice sign. :grin:

These signs will be in a very small town just west of LAFAYETTE LA. But most of all this town of Scott is also home of the famous Boudin Festival , 2 1/2 days of good eating, dancing and a lot of cold beer. I will have a booth in the craft show, April 1 st. To the 3 rd.

What is the material used for the sign and finish technique? Sounds like a you plan to enjoy the festival!

[myshop1044]

The wood is cypress, the primer is a gray water base paint and the white and red is also a water base paint.
yes we nibble on boudin and fresh hog cracklings all weekend and sell, sell, sell.

Hi myshop1044,
Here is the double sided oval sign I just did for a customer. It is 14 1/4" x 26" x 1.5 red oak. I have lucked up on 15" wide red oak at my local wood worker guild cheap.
