This is my second sign that I have done. I don't have templates so I have to do my lettering freehand. This sign says "Cead Mile Failte" which means a hundred thousands welcomes in Irish. The wood is cherry and the finish is a semi gloss lacquer. Two holes have been drilled near the top for hanging.

I was commissioned to create a double sided sign for the Number 10 Saloon in Deadwood. The sign is made of Redwood and measures 18 by 39. After staining the board I carved out both sides on my CNC, since the sign is longer than the carving area of the bed I had to make my registration marks to...

Here is a sign that I make for one of my construction customers to go in front of the property being worked on. It is all cedar construction on the exposed wood with a copper top. The art is a digital print applied to MDO 1/2" plywood. We have large format digital printers that produce these...

Hello to all members, many moons ago I learned the art of tattooing, after several major back surgeries, I was left with an uncontrollable tremor in my right hand….not cool with maintaining straight lines…..wood became my choice material for getting that creative mojo thing going. These pieces...

I am designing and renovating our old park in our small town. One of the upgrade projects is to replace the worn out welcome sign with a new one. I donate my labor on these projects, and a local non-profit picks up my material expenses. I designed the new sign in Sketchup. I used a...

A large piece I made for the garage/shop. All plywood except for the retired table saw blade in the center.

It only took me about a year to post anything, but better late than never. I definitely drool everyday at the amazing things made on here. Makes me want to quit my job and build all day. This is a "G" that I reliefed carved into Oak that a friend asked me to do. The "G" of course if for the...

This is what I consider to be my first real project (since it's actually leaving the apartment). Everything before this was just practice. My friend just got a new house (today), and it has an awesome man cave in it! Problem is… she isn't a man. A few weeks ago, when she was showing us pictures...

My neighbor Paul had an urgent request for my woodworking assistance!!! He received a special poster for his favorite team. It had to get posted in the front yard…. we can all rest in comfort now we have resolved this pressing issue.

Based on a similar sign that is hung on my manager's door, I've made this one for a good friend. I leave a spot in the center for him to add his name and title or a message to personalize his sign.

Marine grade plywood, sealed and painted with exterior latex…..It has survived out there on the garage almost nine years in New England weather.

Here's a fun little sign I did for my in-laws. They just did a huge rebuild/remodel after being flooded. They were part of the big floods in Cedar Rapids, IA. I wanted to give them something that they could put on their new and improved home that should be finished sometime early this next year...

I made this sign in the same style as the first welcome sign I made: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/14568 A neighbor saw the other sign I made and wanted one that was similar as well as a plaque that I posted as a project a few days ago. She wanted the double inter-locking letter R because of...

I made this sigh for a guy who wanted to hang it up out side of his camping trailer. I made it from an off cut of poplar with the bark still attached. Sorry I didn't get a pic of the back. It was about 24" long and 8" - 10" high and 2" thick. I did all the letters free hand with a router...

I needed a lockable box for some of my ammunition, so I figured why not make one! A couple of hours in the garage some left over pine and here is the result. The box is all pine with 1/8" saw kerfs to make it look like the slats on a crate. The paint is camo green out of a spray can. I used my...

First time making a yard sign. Commissioned piece. 4' tall, 3/4" plywood. Used an old classroom projector to draw the patterns onto the plywood.

So this was a replacement project for my wife's shop that I had originally made 2 years ago. At the time, I used vinyl lettering for her logo and then polyurethane over top. I didn't realize that the outdoor location of the sign would get pummeled with sun, rain, snow, and crazy temperature...
