I build and repair pool cues, so I thought a sign was in order. I decided I'll rout the edges by using my router later. (I wasn't sure if I had the exact offset correct, so I played it safe). I used cherry, 3/4" thick x 8" x 10". The only real trouble spot was the bottom "e" it got chipped out. I doctored up an image of the text I liked, but I guess I need a little more work there...

This pic is what the CC made - before I routed the edges.
