Project Information

This was an experiment sign I did. It is on PLYWOOD. (Oak-ply)

A couple of other 'sites' I follow~~thought it would be a disaster. (I had the same concerns.)
But, it worked…and kind of well~

Then folks said, " well, if you do do it, hand paint it."~~~So, I sprayed it (spray ink)...and it worked.

I cut it out of a scrap board, then I cut the sign shape in the scroll and bandsaw.
The finish on it is Boiled Linseed. I was going to do the dog, but thought it looked cool without the dog being colored~

Thoughts/suggestions/critiques?

Let me make clear, I am ALL ABOUT critique~ All about it~~I have A LOT of learning to do (A LOT), and you folks have taught me a lot and I except to still learn a lot from fellers. I welcome it.

But, Homie dont play ignorant comments….and I will not 'passively' let them roll off. I will let you know HOW ignorant your comment is…
If my sign isnt your cup-o-tea….cool. Feel free to look at the craftsmanship and not the topic. That is what it
is about….why I joined this site.

I dont make, "passive aggressive" comments….and when I see them….I will ALWAYS call bull********************.

(Go ahead, I know you are going too, count how many, " 's " I left out)

There was a person in a neighborhood years ago that had a couple of mean pit bulls that terrorized neighbors…they made good target practice for someone.

I think leaving the head unfinished was a great idea. It gives it a 3d look, makes the head stand out. Good job. The plywood looks like Cherry not oak :)

And agree with grosa - looks like cherry ply. ;)

@ Greg, you should blame the owners, not the dogs~

@Karen, it is spray ink. Marsh Spray Ink.

Thanks folks~

Know the feelin Dust when someone sees my dog they automatically assume shes gonna rip them a new one. But the truth is she is a big baby in a large frame. I try to tell people that the reason pit bulls are mean is because of there owners not the dogs themselves. Best friend for life

Me too. How wrong you are. Got the scars from such an attack to prove it. Don't really care for those who purchase their testosterone. Born with mine.

Code:
 mloy, I did it with a plunge router, and double fluted straight bits....<br />
Jason….I feel your pain. I have learned to embrace it, what is scary is those same ignorant people get to pick the leader of the free world in a couple of months~~
@H-mike, so, by your 'thinking'....if a mexican kicks your ass, you would then hate all mexicans~~~seems logical.

Ignorant. I have raised and bred pits my entire life, not one has had a testosterone shot, and My wife, my kids, my friends, the extended family….....has never been bit by a dog. (furthermore, I have also bred yorkies along with the pits….there has never been an issue with biting…...and ferrets~~~I have never come home to a slaughtered ferret)

Seems to me, YOU need to keep better company~ ones that give a ******************** about their dog…that seems like a bad decision on your part, not the dog(s)

You really like that word "********************" don't you. You use it a lot, yet you react quite negatively when it is used back in your direction. Have you ever stopped to think about what others think and react to about YOUR use of the word "********************"?

Answer-It is much like the negativity you express toward me for calling you on it.

Thanks d4t - I've just googled it and I think we'll give this a try on our next sign - we've got 3 in the planning stages now.
