Chachi111769 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 good job looks really good I would charge extra for the name on it but it is a great idea can't wait to see the rest of them are you going to stain or paint it? Redwood stain would be a way to go.. smitty0312 and firstmuller 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
