Beautiful sign Rob. I'm really looking forward to the camp in May now! I'm leaning towards also attending the class on the monument signs as well.:D Looking forward to meeting you.

thanks for the comments.
material is 20# precision board, 2" thick, 2 pieces for total of 4 inches.

font is raptor from here: http://artandsignstudio.com/fontmenu.html
I built the file in aspire as one piece - 2" thick, then applied the back 2 inches.
rust on the band is paint only.
is this stuff fun or what?

with a new shop and a 8x28 wall to fill up, samples signs will be cut all winter.

rough cut was done with a .50 end mill.
finish cut was a .25 ball nose.
the bottom text was the gone over again with a 1/8 ballnose.
finally, it was cut out of the blank with a 1/4 end mill.

i think the total time was about 11 hours, plus or minus an hour.
design time was about 2 hours.

paint time was around 20 hours.
