Title: Name Sign
Post by: DWSudekum on April 04, 2017, 12:01:20 pm
Made this name sign for my nephew and his bride for a wedding gift.  The backing is Douglas Fir and sign is Cherry.  I finished it with shellac.

There is a way to create these using inkscape.  Once you get the hang of it making these is fairly simple.  Here is a link to a tutorial for doing this.

DW, since you have figured out just how to make designs for those nice scrolled signs, are you selling designs?

Larry while I know how to do these signs I do them just for myself.  Due to potential conflict with  http://www.sheilalandrydesigns.com/ who first came up with this and does sell the patterns using the technique I could not in good conscience sell mine.  http://www.sheilalandrydesigns.com/ does make custom patterns for folks you just need to contact them.

The smaller font is Birds of Paradise  there is a free version and a pay for version that has the compete font package.  For most of what we do the free is sufficient.
