I like it!

Can you elaborate a little on how you fabricated the cap? Is the lettering carved?

Yes, please provide some cap details. I would also like to know about your mounting brackets.

Are the posts wood? Can't find decent posts around here anywhere.

Looks fantastic!!

We built the cap from 4 pieces of HDU cut to the shape and laminated together (two 2" and 2 1"). The only carving is the tooth which is mounted on a 1" HDU oval. The posts are 6x6 cedar. I had the brackets fabricated by a local welding shop.

Thanks for the comments!

Brian

Elegant!

Just enough detail, well done.

I get the feeling your client was more than pleased. A sign befitting a cosmetic dentist!

Thanks for sharing the details and pics Brian.

Brian, I was asked to quote on a similar sign today. The letters will be incised though rather than flat letter.

As I am new to this I am very curious on your final price on this unit.

Thanks,
Dale
