A recent sign…
After a few design iterations, the customer was happy with this graphic.
The background is made of weatherproof 1″ HDU 15 lb. foam and hand carved to look like rustic wood. Two panels were carved to go back to back to make a double sided sign.
The letters were carved out of .5″ acrylic and painted.
Next, layers of color were added to the wood texture. Starting with black, then dry brushing browns over the top to give the illusion of real wood. Rebekah did a great job texturing and painting!
A steel frame was embedded in between the foam sheets for structural support.
Next, everything was glued together with construction adhesive caulk and clamped.
Here are the final pics!

Hi Kris,Hopefully this message reaches you. I was wondering if you could stop by 23 Woods lane at some point to evaluate the Totem Pole. The whitish discoloration? Don’t know if it’s sandable to remove or if it’s a type of mold.Also, I have some old tarmac? that was used to patch my roof around the chimney. It is a thick tar like substance. I was wondering if I could paint the bottom part of the tree with it to help stop or slow the decay. Please call 860-664-0459 when you can to set up an appointment. I will be gone from August 8-15, but a friend is staying here and you could discuss the situation with him. I am willing to pay you to do what is needed to preserve this fine piece of art. Thanks,Bev Beverly D. Torell Wetland Woods
