    Default This months signs

    Here are some of the signs I have completed this and last month. I Hope it give you some ideas that you can so with your carvewright. The arrowhead sign has reflective glass beads in the white paint for night reflection.

    Outstanding work as usual. How were the glass beads applied? Were they mixed with the paint and could they be used in the clear finish? Where did you get them? All these questions because I want to replace my plastic house sign with a more attractive carved one.

    Nice work indeed, Tom. You need to carve one for yourself with a busy beaver on it! Just looking at the amount of your work tires me out. I'm gonna go take a nap now! LOL

    Thank you my friends, I'm glad you like them. I have several large ones I working on now which I will post next week. It is a lot of fun and a challenge to create what my customers are looking for. I do have a helper with the painting to free up my time. I just updated my web site if you want to see my other signs. www.signsinwood.com. Tcough3475, the reflective beads work well and a little goes a long way. I purchased a pound a couple years ago and I still have plenty. I charge $5 to $10.00 extra for each sign. They work best on white paint and you cannot clear coat over them. They will loose the reflective. I paint the letters with a thick coat of paint, while it is wet add the beads and pat it lightly. After it dries I pour off the excess and save it for later. Here is a link to where you can buy them but there are many online to choose from. Hope this helps. http://www.amazon.com/Reflective-Sta...HYT0EBZGJT2GXP
