    Just finished this one.
    Carved HDU, finished in Urethane and Gilded in gold.
    Scroll is routed from 1/4″ aluminum. Posts are 2″ aluminum tube.
    I designed the sign and scroll and outsorced the carving and Gilding. I painted the bracket and post with auotmotive urethane.

    Critique welcome as always.

    Thanks…..

    Peter, Now that you’ve mentioned it, i see what you mean about the posts. Kinda like my three legs… one is Much shorter.
    The Finials are bought – DuraCap is the Brand. They’re HDU… and not cheap!

    hi steve, busy bee right enough mate, top notch sign mate, very smart. well done! 😛

    seems a shame for me to give any kind of crit, constructive or not…
    but… i would have scaled down all the text etc on the sign to about 80% of original size.

    thanks for taking the time to post your work mate… 😉

    Very nice Steve,
    Did you hand carve or do you have a router?
    Cheers
