Popular Post Dak0ta52 Posted July 7, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 My niece's stepdaughter asked if I would scroll her name. I was able to create a pattern using MS Publisher with Brush Script font. The size was going to be 20 inches and I thought I'd have to use spiral blades because my saw only has a 16 inch throat. I was able to complete the cut only using regular blades. The project came out so well that my niece wanted one for her. I decided to do one for her and her husband in a matching set. If anyone wants to know how I created the letters using MS Publisher, let me know. stoney, TexasDIY, FrankEV and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 They came out real nice. What is the background of the first one. I looks cool. Also, how thick is the wood? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Don, The background is just sanded pine painted flat black. The grain makes it look like streaks. I cut the letters from a 1x6 pine board and ripped lengths for the outer frame. I left the pattern on the letters and painted the sides flat black also so the face of the letters would stand out.

preprius Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 I like your idea about getting the sides painted. Black looks good. Maybe in some cases different color might make it pop more. You effort shows nice smooth curves. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
