A gift was ordered to replace this old, worn-out address sign:
The new sign was made from a wind-felled red oak tree obtained from a neighbor after a rough storm. We assisted the neighbor in harvesting the tree for removal and he graciously allowed us to keep the wood. We cut the red oak into slabs with the sawmill and dried it in our solar kiln.
The wood was cut to size and sanded. A wood conditioner was added, and the design was hand-painted with the customer's approved design on both sides.
Several layers of polyurethane were applied to give it additional durability against the elements of nature.
It was a beautiful improvement to the entrance of the property!
