Johnston : Bespoke post and panel sign

Posted by Ian Johnston on 19 June 2012 at 21:25

Got asked to do a school sign for one of my local schools, seeing as my nieces and nephews go to it I decided I better do them a nice one.
150mm aluminium posts
5mm aluminium folded panels
Bespoke Iroko finials

I normally make my finials from GRP , but in this case i wanted the wood effect of the pencil and as it was for the local school said i ‘d give them the real thing,
£100 plank of timer before i did anything with it though!! 😮

get yourself some HDU to play around with, from coastal mate…
very easy to work with and lasts forever…

Ian, go to the top of the class! One of the best signs I have seen on here. The pencils and the way you have made them are a great idea.

I really love this one.
I think using the wood was the best choice in this instance.
It looks more authentic than HDU and it will last longer in case birds peck at it etc.
Really nice work.
Love….Jill
