So cool! Now you guys have me thinking of trying a "glue-up" lol... I wish I had more time to work on signs. Thanks again guys for a great video.

[@oldave100]

When you get a chance, you should definitely give it a shot! It's a little intimidating at first, but it really opens it up for creativity

[@greggordon6215]

Fantastic video! That may be one of my favorite signs I've ever seen! That drift wood effect is just awesome!

[@oldave100]

Thanks Greg! It came out so much better than we expected!

[@bobmartinez4656]

Thanks DanO!

[@garyzellner9938]

Wow .... that is awesome and great techniques used. I've used the wire wheel idea making live edge look on signs before but this adds a lot to that Idea. Thanks again !!

[@oldave100]

Our pleasure, Gary!

I have started my own Handmade sign company in the Highlands of Scotland and that is because of you guys and your amazing videos. Thank you.

[@oldave100]

Dude!! That's awesome!! Let us know if there's anything we can do to help👍👍

[@Peterlobbett]

I will do. Thank you so much.

[@joemcgraw6288]

What kind of wood do have to make signs with? If I ever come to
Scotland I will definitely look you up.

[@Peterlobbett]

I use Pine as is softwood and easy to work with. Sounds good. I've only just started but we are called 'Loch Ness Signs'

[@zitternden]

Hey man! Good luck!

[@scottswoodshop68]

Wow... that was awesome!

[@oldave100]

Thanks Scott!

[@monteashmore3730]

Great sign. 👍

[@oldave100]

Thanks Monte!

[@JohnClark-tt2bl]

Looks like another great one.
I think the only thing I'd do differently is to paint the background of the letters black so it pops more. Might stain it too, not sure there.

[@oldave100]

Thanks John! We were considering staining it, but decided to go with the natural redwood. A stain would look good as well.

[@stevescustomcarving1175]

Awesome sign!!!

[@oldave100]

Thanks Steve!

[@JosephMccomas]

[@oldave100]

Dude that's awesome! We sure appreciate all the support and wish you the best on your business! Let us know if there's anything we can do to help

[@massikau.k4660]

@@oldave100 thanks so much. I didn't think you would have replied. I appreciate you took your time out to reply. Yes I will for sure reach out for any advice with anything in regards to sign making. I've had a realy rough time the past year and found that carving signs has been such a blessing to clear my head. That's all down to you guys. Love watching your videos each week and taking on board all your tips and tricks. I hope to be able to get the funds at some point and do the course you supply on your website. Take care of yourself and hopfuly speak in the future.

[@oldave100]

@@massikau.k4660 we sure appreciate the kind words. It's our pleasure, buddy 👍👍👍

[@vtxrider1800r]

Have you ever used Weathered wood stain accelerator by Varathane? I've used it to give some fence boards that old look for a farm sign before. It was the grey-ish tint. That's a big (well done as usual) sign but it would have gave it that drift wood color. Maybe a semi or flat top coat.

[@oldave100]

We've never tried that before. I just made a note to give it a shot. Thanks buddy!

[@vtxrider1800r]

@@oldave100 Great. It's a hit and miss on some wood species. I've used it on pine and got what I wanted.

[@AusWorkshop]

Interesting

[@oldave100]

Thanks buddy!

[@billsmiley2606]

Looks great. Question--Is there a reason you are not using Total Boat Halcion (sp) on your outdoor signs?

[@oldave100]

We really don't care for it. There's just better options out there, in our opinion.

[@billsmiley2606]

Thanks. One more..oil or water based?@@oldave100
