Here's something to make from those off-cuts too small for other things. Originally I saw this somewhere done on one solid board. I used all my various off-cuts, staggered the size and spacing, fonts, etc. Kinda reminds me of those multi signed road markers. Drilled two vertical holes in each board and ran string through the holes, so in theory it can be added to in the future.
The best part: I got to collaborate with my daughter who did all the free hand calligraphy on this. It really gives it the special touch.
Thanks for looking.

I like it... That's exactly what came to mind when I first looked at the picture. Good job.BillK wrote:Kinda reminds me of those multi signed road markers. Drilled two vertical holes in each board and ran string through the holes, so in theory it can be added to in the future.

Re: sign from off-cuts
Really LIKING it Bill!!
Kinda reminds me of a few times I semi-Guided city folk on the Allagash and St. Johns Rivers.
First 2-3 days nothing but complaints of "Nothing to do" at night(except they played cards and drank up all their liquor:)
(except one guy who found me sitting on the shore on a rock watching the River and the Night....
And asked what I was doing... "Nothing"...and moved up the River to his own rock...
Next morning he said to me...."Nothing...is kinda Nice" )
Usually took the rest of the group 3 days to start noticing the small things, and enjoy where they Were!
Wish I had had your Sign....but a little hard to pack in a canoe/kayak
VERY nice and Well done!!
