Buddy of mine opened up a shop recently so I figured I would make him a sign.......

just so ya know labour is spelled that way in Canada.......

start off with gluing up some Black Ash, run it through the planer ect ect.....

run a roman ogee bit around border paint it matte black, sand off top again when dry.....80gt first then 220gt to really smooth out top....

Cut out decal but use it as a stencil, tape  all the top off so only lettering gets the paint.......

Let it dry remove tape and decal....

This is a great idea to make a cheap shop sign, but if you want to order a professional signboard for your shop, you have to spend more and order lettering boards.
