Some more new signs this week

[easybuilt]

Here are some of the signs I shipped out this week, I thought it might give others some ideas.
The board that says " Christmas 2012" is going to have his parents dinner bell attached to it and all the kids are going to sign the sign, cool idea.
The wood is red cedar and heart redwood. I still have a few more signs to finish and ship out. Then I rest, yea!

Nice stuff... I did get a few ideas by the way. What is your website? Also curious, what kind of paint do you use and do you apply a sealer coat before paint?

[badbert]

No hijack intended, LOL. But I do seal before painting. I have used both shellac and water based poly sanding sealer. Mistakes are much easier to wipe off when it's sealed!

Thank you so much my friends for looking and the nice comments.

dehrlich, My web site is signsinwood.com
Sometimes I put sealer on first but I usually use a multi-medium matt finish it dries clear on the wood I am painting colors. It prevents the paint from soaking in and the colors really pop.
It works great when I use redwood or tennessee cedars I only need to two coats of clear coar and the colore is even. On the bar sign I painted the edges and them put matt finish on the edge and top of letters. It protects the work I have finished too.
