First Stacked Text Attempt
I've been dying to try the stacked text style of sign, and finally had a reason to do so. And yes, I left the toolmarks on the background on purpose. I thought they gave the background some dimension.

Re: First Stacked Text Attempt
Thanks for all the positive comments. I forgot to mention that this is another project made with salvaged hardwood flooring (Birch in this case), which is a great and eco friendly way to find expensive wood for next to nothing.

Re: First Stacked Text Attempt
These things have been selling like hotcakes!
The last one is neat, my client said, "Do whatever you want." Normally I would be pulling my hair out, but I happen to know the families of the engaged couple. Both the bride and groom's families are old school farming families, so I went with a 'rustic barn' look.

Re: First Stacked Text Attempt
NICE Connor:)
Looks like you've got it down pat!
Like the effect of cutting at a 45 to make the mill marks a feature!
Good work.

Re: First Stacked Text Attempt
These signs are just awesome! I have tried my hand at one of them, but had an issue when cutting the outside profile (the part moved) and spoiled it. I think what really makes the signs are the contrast of colors. Would like to hear how you go about this. Nice work!

Re: First Stacked Text Attempt
Great job! What is the font in the first 3? It's fancy enough, but not overly so.
You have inspired me, so now I know my next project.
Thanks!!

1. Cut and sand the entire sign
2. Take a small brush and cover the top face of the first name lettering with gloss clear. Let this fully dry before moving on.
3. Wipe/brush on the border/surname stain. (I used General Finishes 'Espresso' gel stain). I only stain the top face of the lettering.
4. As soon as the gel stain is dry to the touch (a few minutes), I wipe on the background colour stain over the entire sign (border/lettering as well). I find that this step really ties everything together.
5. After the background stain has dried overnight, I block sand the top face of the first name lettering to bring it back to the natural light birch/maple colouring.
6. I then spray a non-yellowing semi-gloss clear over the sign and I'm done! Total time to colour the sign is about an hour (not including wait time between the staining stages and clear coats).
