    Default Fish shaped Cabin sign

    I am looking to make a fish shaped cabin sign. I would carve a last name and the address numbers on the sign.
    It needs to be about 11 inches long. Anyone done this before and willing to share the pattern OR know where
    I can get a nice pattern ? ? Thank you !

    Is there a fish type you are shooting for more than others?

    DickB...If I use the 90 degree V-bit like the project calls for, will the curved body lines actually be feathered to a point just the way it looks?Click image for larger version.

    The sign is for my pastor...he is a bass fisherman mostly...but, he has said the walleye looking sign is fine.

    Yes, what you see is what you get with the 90-degree bit.

    Ironically, while I lived in Minnesota (state fish: walleye) I never sold one of these. After moving to Florida, I must have sold a dozen of these all over the US. Bass is about all anyone fishes down here.
