This is the sign we installed today. The landscaping is not completed. The raised letters, lilacs and hands are all hand cut and carved HDU The sign is finished with Benjamin Moore Aura on HDU with a steel insert frame. The letters and hands are gilded with 23kt gold. The treated posts are covered with a fluted aluminum sleeve. We cut 1 1/4 inch thick granite for the post caps. The sign is 48 inch x 28 inch.

Thanks, Joe I too have strong feelings about the formation of prismatic letters that have been developed by masters over hundreds of years...Though CNC created prismatic when gilded is pretty,to me the letter form is not right. It's a pleasure to see those who take the time to form the letters correctly after they use the CNC to do the bulk of the work...For me the study of, and doing the entire process by hand gives me the greatest pleasure. Thanks again.
