I wanted to make a sign to hang in my billiards room. I wanted something simple, even old fashioned looking, with a stupid saying of some kind. In a situation like that you can never go wrong with a Homer Simpson quote:
"Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals...except the weasel."
It's 41" x 7.25" x .75" poplar. Carving time was 9:53 on optimal. I know, that's a long time for a sign, but I wanted something big for the pool room and I recently purchased a CW and was itching to carve something.
Sorry about the crappy cell phone photos.
