Here's a cute one we did for a lady that was about 100 years old. Her driveway splits in two and she needs to direct traffic in the right direction. The pointing hands and flourishes are from Mike Jackson's Main street collection. The sign is 2" cedar, stained and clear coated. I cut a mask for everything, painted the main colors and the added the outline and highlights by hand. I know that the inset border is slightly off center, but it's really not that noticeable in person.

Hi Justin

Thanks for the compliment.

I charged $ 150.00 for the sign. We use pre-glued western red cedar sign blanks supplied by one of our distributors. They come in 2'x8' panels and this piece was done from leftover scrap. I used Frog Juice to clear-coat before masking to seal the wood and as a final coat after the lettering was dry.
