Havent got to do one of these in awhile, but now I have several jobs for dimensional. This is 4x8 1.5" hdu, routed on a cnc, with some hand carving on the leaves and the hand. Painted with latex and one shot enamels. Installed on 6x6 posts with caps and mdo runners on the posts. Glad to get it done. I love doing these, but they sure are labor intensive. -------------------- Maker of fine signs and other creative stuff. Located at 109 N. Cumberland ave. Harlan, Ky. 40831 606-837-0242

Nice, John...very nice! Yep, they are labor intensive but very satisfying. Not many folks around here want to do them because they take so much time...so I get to do a lot. -------------------- Chapman Sign Studio Temple, Texas chapmanstudio@sbcglobal.net

Well done John. I sure enjoy dimensional work too. Different layers and textures sure kick it up and make it so much more than just a sign. -------------------- Duncan Wilkie aka signdog http://www.comsign.ca Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

NIce- though I think I'd have preferred the scrolls toned down a whisker closer to the background colour- so the lettering still had the greatest or most obvious contrast. (and please fill us in on the mounting of it- is it backed with ply, or dibond or something?) -------------------- "Stewey" on chat "...there are no limits when you aim for perfection..."
