We were contacted about a year ago to design and install an interior and exterior sign package for a dental office. The interior signs were installed last winter. There was a delay and appeal for the sign permit. We got that confirmed about a month ago. Earlier this week, we installed the exterior sign.
The entire sign is wooden frame and completely wrapped in Dibond. PWF wood was used for the framing of the post skirts. The design of the structure was inspired by the building exterior and colours.
Two posts were installed in the ground and the decorative components were put together on site.
Sign face is double sided. "Evergreen" and the hillscape are dimensional.
The customer is going to clean up the landscaping now that the sign is installed.

I've had some luck routing the edge with a V-bit, then bending it over on small stuff. Found a "how-to" that said to use a v-groove bit with a flattened point but I haven't been able to locate anything like that. I think it wanted the point knocked to 1/16" flat. Any idea for source for such a bit?

Thanks folks. I used a 90 Gerber V carving bit. It's an old one that is not sharp at the tip. The depth I Cuts up to the aluminum, but it doesn't show. Bear in mind you can't use the econo grades of ACP, Ex. You can use Dibond, but not E-panel, the aluminum is too thin an will crack.
