    😮

    Handcut on a bandsaw!

    I can imagine a lot of time was put into them then. They look terrific. I immediately assumed they were cut on a CNC machine.

    If I may pry… How many hours went into those?

    hi jom (hope thats right) the whole sign read “celtic” and took about 9 hours to complete i try and give myself about an hour per letter and any other time is used in the assembly glad you enjoyed.

    i agree that the colour of green it is, doesnt do the letter any favours mate..
    but at the end of the day the customer gets what they wanted.. a top notch sign! 😉
