Here are a couple of signs that I recently made. If you are wanting a special sign, let me know and I will do my best to make it to your specifications.
Here is a sign that I made for The Blake Powers Band...there is a link to his website on my homepage. Blake is in the green shirt and I am to his right. The sign was done by hand with a router; with the black section behind the letters routered out @ 1/4" deep.
This sign hangs in my garage where I do most of my work.
I made this sign for a neighbor that is making his garage into a Texas Longhorn "sanctuary". I also made the TV shelf that the sign is resting on. The "Longhorns" on each side are also routered into the wood.
