    Default plaque for our church

    we have been working on flower garden and trail at our church, i will be carving some plaques to be placed in several locations along trail. this is just a trial as of yet but gonna carve some quotes from Bible. this is carved on cedar, for being able to withstand the elements and it is glued to a concrete paver, any other suggestions for plaques and how to finish them to withstand the elements would be highly acceptable

    I have often wondered why it is that
    Conservatives are called the "right" and Liberals are called the "left".

    the fool to the left."

    Looks very good indeed. I think polyurethane is a good product for outdoors.

    I agree with your choice for poly. I use the same all the time for outdoor projects and have had great performance and a long life with it....

    I have to agree that for outdoor survival there's need a few coats of spar urethane.
