    Outdoor sign wood

    My in laws want me to make a sign for their place at the beach. What kind of wood would you suggest? This will be outside, salt air, probably no sun as it will be under an alcove. Thanks in advance.

    Router-carved Sign

    Last week my neighbor came asking for a sign for his new beach house. As the story goes, he's been "planning" on getting a beach house for years but never made the final decision. Now that he has, everyone in his family has one reaction .... "It's about time!" ... so he requested that I create...

    [Problem-Main Site] sign in

    Dave (or whoever is there) Why does this site loose my user name and password? I have it checked on "remember me".

    CNC-made 3D Sign?

    As some of you know I'm part owner of a small (13 people) software firm in Charlotte. We are in the process of moving to a new office and I had an idea ... wouldn't it be cool to have a 3D sign made with our company name & logo. But I don't have a CNC and don't really want a hand-carved look...

    Free Hand Router Sign - Raised Letters

    These are my first "non-test" Free Hand Routed Raised Letter signs. I did them with a $9.99 1/4" Trim Router using a 12" x 12" plexi base (see Misc album for photo). They are 24" x 16" and will be mounted back to back between two 4x4 posts. I still have a lot of practice to get good but I am...

    This is an instrument in-process. The body is made of a Purpleheart core with alternating layers of maple and purplerheart venner with a flame maple top and a walnut back. It's going to be nice if I ever finish it!!

  14. Body Closeup

    Body Closeup

    This is a closeup of the body after finishing with the electronics installed. I used a hand rubbed Tru-Oil finish and it really brought out the beauty of the mahogany. Not as durable as lacquer but pretty darn nice looking if I do say so myself!

    This is the guitar ready for finish. You can clearly see the peace sign design in these photos.
