This is the sign Aaron and I made this week for Ken Salisbury's woodworking show display. It is made from alder, the center logo is cherry and is set into a 1/8" deep hole so that it is just slightly raised above the surface of the sign. Overall dimentions of the sign are 10" x 13" x 7/8" thick and it is engraved on both sides. The lettering is engraved almost 1/32" deep and the plaque was given a roman ogee edge treatment on both sides. Finished with 3 coats of laquer and power rubbed with Johnson's past wax before the engraving was done.
Ken hasn't seen this sign yet, I'm sure that by now he has already left Alabama for the 5 Barns Picnic so I'm posting the picture of the sign to share with everyone before we surprise Ken at the picnic.
I had hoped to have time to build a wrought iron stand for this sign but time ran out on me this week.
