Here's an a-frame that I delivered this week. I bent the metal handle to fit the arc. The client thought it was custom made. I can't believe that I never tried this before.

Nice Work Terry.
I'll bet that one gets more attention than a boring rectangular sign.

Nice work Terry ...yeah, I think once you bent something, it is custom (& w/ that shape, seriously custom!)

Ok, give it up Terry! How'd ya bend it? Robogrips and a vise or what? Nice sign! I love the roses. Is it hand-painted? Love...Jill

it's "A-1" !
with a shape like that,there's probably an implication that the food is good for the figure?

Thanks Y'all,
Jill...after mathematically calculating the arc and allowing for...OK, I put a towel over a log by the woodstove and gave it a good leeeean. It's mostly paint and some vinyl.
Suelynn... it's 1/2" MDO. I usually use 3/4", but the ladies that take it in and out asked for 1/2".

Terry,
Very nice. Much classier looking than the standard rectangle.
So i guess i have to buy a woodstove and a log to achieve that effect...
Thanks, Steve
