Richard don’t have design software on this laptop but an older style font would probably work quite well if it is an oak sign blank.

Richard do you mind script ?

Here’s a couple of ideas. . Brass & Oak would look good ??
oh and BTW on the first oval they little fishy looking things are supposed to be leaves ( have no idea what sycamore leaves look like ) 😀

Well as many of you may know this was not my thing and after talking to some suppliers i ended up using a company i use for some of my digital printing and im very pleased
made form planks of oak 1 inch thick and glued together to make a blank 900mm by 400mm
routed and infilled with black and then varnished

that looks really good rich…
was it you that glued, varnished etc or did you get it all done by the people routering?

[Richard Urquhart]

all done by the company only thing i did was set up an ai file and rest was over to them. I did not really want to get involved but i have made another customer and a small profit so its happy days

OK rich,
Personally I would have gone for a matt finish, but I recon to produce and sell for a profit, trade price (a) machine made and spray finished…£140-£170. hand made and hand finished, quite a bit more. only a guess mind..
