SIGN prototype

SIGN prototypeCovid Project #27I wanted to rekindle my skills a little so I picked this project.
it is just a “prototype” for hopefully a larger all wood project in the future.
this one is High Density Urethane (HDU). I chose this material
because it is fairly soft and easy to carve and Bondo quickly covers any issues.
the back is 3/4” by 40” tall and 33” wide. it has a 3/4” skirt glued around the edge
to give the illusion that it is 1.5” thick.
the background is hand textured with hand carving tools. the top and bottom panels
are appliques glued to the main panel. the center ribbon is 1/8” PVC sheet that
was heat formed into shape. then a 3/8” HDU piece was carved with “SIGNS”
and glued to the PVC ribbon to give the illusion it is all one piece.
the bottom name panel is lightly glued to the main panel (in case someone wants
to buy it “as is” and put their name on it).
now – here is the wood part that brings it here:
the thin gold strip around the border is 3/16” wood dowels recessed half way into the panel.
it was all given a special latex primer and regular Valspar latex house paint for the brown.
the gold color is brass/bronze colored SignPainters Lettering Enamel.
I am not really fond of the black paint that was “misted” on the top part so I will be playing around
with different color combos just for something to do.
(my next door neighbor and his wife have the Covid Virus – so I am staying home as much as possible).
so, painting is my hobby – and this will give me something to do indoors.more photos are in the posts below.
