Yes, Bob, I have to concur. Very cool. I especially like those posts. I might have to use that idea somewhere.
Thanks for sharing, Bubba Fair!

Mark that is awesome!! What materials are you going to use? Will the oval panel with the buck be raised? Will you use any hand carving on the buck? I have done some similar stuff and cut an oval out of 1/2 or 3/4 hdu and then blasted it serpately and attached it later. Really cool design! Keep up the great work!

thanks for the thumbs up folks.
i haven't shown the client my sketch yet. what i propose is all redwood construction, post, planter box and finials, the single sided face is approx. 30" x 48", it will be blasted leaving the lettering, borders and oval panel that hold the deer raised.
if it is within the client's budget i would also like to surface gild borders and lettering. the pictorial will be hand painted using acrylics.
all paint on posts and sign face will also be matte finish acrylic latex.

thanks again folks for taking the time to respond.
hey bob stephens, what a cool idea carving the flowers, unfortunately i am not much of a carver so i will leave it up to the property owners to plant low lying perenials in the flower box.
i suggested this to a church i recently did a sign for and it worked out well as an appointment.
i secured a nice design fee and have spent time pricing this one.
this is one of those "serious" customers.
wish me luck.

"i always give the customer more than they bargain for." the finished sign always looks better than the sketch.
