Carved up a business sign out of cedar. The pheasant on top is a cutout and glued on. Can anyone tell me who the guys are on the right side?
Stained with Gunstock. Really like the red color it gives.

Also have done some more state quarter boards..

FW,

That sign is a great graphic composition. An attention grabber that will be a business booster.

Thanks for sharing.

Just saying thanks to all for the nice comments. It was fun coming up with the lay out.

Silent Bob guessed it right. Good old "Blues Brothers" Jake and Elwood. I knew I had something for the Ring Neck and looked forever for the Blues tie in.

Al, here is the link to the Quarter board MPC or as Jeff would say "search is your friend" http://www.carvewright.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=10602&d=1206199978

Andes,
The cover is clear acrylic sheet 0.080 thickness. Just under $6.00 at Lowe's and other suppliers.I use a 18
x 24 sheet and cut it down to the board size. I did a round over bit on all edges and if you set the depth just right it leaves a nice edge to line the sheet up with. Also use brass wood inserts, washer and screws to fasten it down. One could use the plastic or zinc but thought brass gave it a little better finished look. I will see if I can find a picture to do a close up..
