Dave Monk Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Looks really nice in the two tones. Did you glue the lettering to the back to help support the letters. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadstick Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Looks really nice in the two tones. Did you glue the lettering to the back to help support the letters. dave Yes, I did. I glued the walnut pieces together and let that dry. When that was done, I glued the aspen (really soft and no fun to sand) to the walnut backer and clamped it all down. Then three coats of spray poly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 My favorite sister-in-law is a teacher, so I made her a new name plaque for her desk. Aspen and walnut. Font is Ancestory. Great work you did here,Sometimes like on the "r" of Mr, the programs have there own way of making a letter.On the "r" sometimes i'll just pencil in the complete "R' so the "M" will have more support standing up .You did real good here!

dgman Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Great looking sign! Aspen is a very soft and grainy wood that leaves a lot of fuzzies. You might go with Maple next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
