Couple of welcome signs.
« on: November 19, 2013, 11:15:28 am »
Western red cedar.
Pretty thin stuff so I added a ply backer to the fish one to give some strength.
Eastern red cedar on Chestnut backer for the Birthday sign.
The recipient wanted to add his own hooks on the bottom to suspend the initials of whos birthday corresponds to that month.

Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

All three look great! I especially like the grain look on the middle one with the cowboy and cowgirl.

Thanks Dustin.  I had to remove the spurs on my rendition.  The cedar is very fragile and one broke off and I could not find it.  So yours wins with the spurs intact.

Very nicely done.  Cedar is like that sometimes.  Thanks for sharing them with us, I really like the middle one.

They are great.  Love the wood.  What did you use/do to put the months on the bottom of the Birthday plaque?  Hope you don't mind me asking.

Marg....I used clear label material on my printer.  It is self adhesive.

All of them are very nice. Good  cutting. I like the top one best (probably because of my ministry) but I think the grain of wood on the cowboy/cowgirl is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
