This is one that I did more than just the sign.
I did the end of the entire building. It was fun !
There was also some rock work,but not worth mentioning.
It's kind of difficult to express much imagination around here.
The ordinances kind of dictate what you do, colors etc.
We had to get signatures from all shop owners , so we could get permission to go as far as we did.

Great job. What material and finish make up the awning brackets?

I'm not sure about the materials for the wooden part of the bracketing.
I did the basic awning framing underneath. It was 1/2" aluminum square tubing.
The awnings were ordered with the frame , and I lettered them and hung them.
The sign is made of HDU backed with .250 corrigated aluminum.
This was the second sign I've done with the 1 shot product ,AND I LOVE IT !
I finished it with a thick coat of low lustre antique polyurathane.
As usual I've got a list of things I would have done differently if not for the rustic "Smoky Mountain" sign ordinances.

From the picture the building has a swiiss feel. Its well done

I'am shure you'll get more contracts form that job

I know sometimes you look at your own work to much you analyze it to much the colors look good
