Curious, why so small for a welcome sign? And, will they be mounted back to back on a common backer?

 Thanks Frank.

The lady said it was going to be placed on a bedroom room, a guest room as I understand it.

I have a 1/8" backer for it the same outline as the pattern.  Colors are light blue for background and yellow for the sign itself.
It was an interesting difference going from cutting mostly 1/2" & 3/4" patterns to a single piece of 1/8"baltic birch. Much slower speed for that piece.

 I do know where your coming from, about the thickness difference in woods. I went from3/4 to 1/4. It took a little while to get use to. Now I love it. So much easier on me and my saw.

It was just a passing thought - like you, it took a little while to get used to and I went slow as I didn't want to mess up the letters.

A nice effort. I sometimes find that the paper scissors, pencil and tape is much quicker the mucking around on the computer.
Cutting a single thickness of thin ply is a PITA. I will usually stack 2,unless it is name or photo, and the chances are the second will sell as well and it turns out quicker, I think.
