Wood Burning Signs

[Kusanar]

I was thinking of having a pole with distances to different cities like on MASH.

I see you're in Virginia, I don't know if you have ever been to Virginia Western Community College but they have a pole like that with our 7 sister cities pointed out and with distances. Kind of cool. Theirs even has arrows pointing in the right direction.

We have a running joke here that I would get lost in my own back yard without a map and a seeing eye dog.

I would so buy a bunch of silly signs to mount on a post in the yard!!
Things like....
HOUSE
CHICKENS
GARDEN
ALLEY
WALK PATH

You get the idea lol. Pointing out the obvious.
I can laugh at my own BAD sense of direction.

Add a couple of other signs... like one pointing down that says Earth...3 arrows pointing up saying Moon/Sun/Sky, one towards the neighbors house that says Neighbors....

I live in Virginia, but only since May of this year. I have been to Lynchburg, Gretna, Altavista, Danville and Chatham. Maybe one or 2 other cities. Not to any colleges yet.

The first sign is up on the house!

So, have you decided whether or not you're going to take orders? Pricing? Got a template to show which styles you can burn in? I am so excited about this!!!

Yes, i can take orders. And i will show you some stencils i have. I will be getting more types of letters as well.
Pricing i discussed with husband. He thinks $20, but i am going to go with $15. For a sign the size of the one pictured. Depending on complexity i would have to charge more for like a 2 sided sign or larger sign. I will have to check what stain colors i have as well. You guys are spurring me on! I love it!

 

[Smuvers Farm]

OK. You need to put the dimensions of the sign(s) down... I have no perception of time, sizes or direction...

And I DEFINITELY want a sign!!!

 

[CapricornFarm]

Great! The signs are approximately 21"wide x5"tall.

This is my freehand block lettering that husband prefers.

 

[CapricornFarm]

Stencils of letters so far.

Animal and design stencils. I will be adding chickens of course! I may have more stencils in my storage area i used for ceramics.
