Here is my husband carving--I love to see him work, love the little shavings that he carves off of the board....Took him several days in the garage (in awful heat) to finish this up....We decided to use Cedar because it would weather well, BUT the grain was harder to work with and we found a split in the board, which Jim had to glue together...then he got some sort of problem with his lungs from the glue fumes! I hope he feels it was all worth it.
Here is what the sign looked like before my brother scraped off the old finish that was peeling...and the old sign. Can you read it? Used to say "harvey falls" for a guy who once lived in the home
Here is the sign Jim finished for the anniversary. I think it is beautiful and he got several comments on it. He normally doesn't do this sort of carving but I think he did a great job.
