First real thing I made. Cut our address out of reclaimed redwood. (neighbor’s old fence when I lived in California. Yes, I hauled most of a fence from California to Maryland for just this day!)
Sanded, then clear coated, then repainted the numbers
After I did this I realized I did the clear coat with interior poly. Uggg. Decided to just do another exterior clear coat, and hope for the best. I can always sand it back and do it again, or just cut another one out!
not actually fastened to the brick, but somewhat close to it’s final home
Not sure on what the fonts are, but i normally just play around til i find what i like. I would suggest opening a word document, write out your phrase and copy that line a few time and change the font til you find one you like.
Unless you also live at 42 Charles St, the file would be useless.
I have been watching youtube video tutorials on the easel program and find them easy to follow. I think the key is to be consistant with your practice and the learning curve wont seem so daunting
Address sign for a friend. stained parts are inset 1/8", edges are also stained. Some imperfections but this was originally going to be a practice piece but it came out pretty nice. Dimensions are 12" x 24".
Nice
