"The sign is made from a live edge piece of cherry 38 inches long and 11-12 inches wide. Total machining time was about 6 hours. 1 3/8 flycutter to flatten both sides, 1/4 inch end mill to rough it, 1/4 ball nose to rough the 3d pieces, 1/8 ball nose to ensure good detail and then 1/8 end mill to clean up the lettering.
All of the colors comes from general finishes gel stain, java for the letters, gray for the metal tools and new pine for the handles. Then clear coated with water Bourne poly to limit how much the cherry will darken over time."
We have a feeling this sign will inspire a few Design and Make users to create their own personal shop sign!
