Title: Routed wood sign for new sponsor - Pacforest Supply Co - With Pics
Post by: Busy Beaver Lumber on August 14, 2014, 04:14:48 PM
Just before the Pig Roast, Brad of Pacforest Supply Co. contracted with me to make a sign for his company.

By the time i got home from vacation, there was a check in the mailbox covering the purchase. Thanks much Brad, truly a great man to deal with and one who stands behind his promises.

Well here is the resulting sign.

First the Routed sign. Two boards were actually bisket joined together to make this 23.5 x 12.25 inch board. There is so much detail in the trees that it took the cnc almost 20 minutes just to route them.

Then lets add some color

Then after some sanding, lets apply the clear coat

Hope you like it Brad. Mailed out Friday morning.

Thank you Ron and Daver.

Tell me Daver, where in North Jersey are you residing. I lived in Washington Township by Paramus and in West Milford about 20 years ago. Worked Down in Clifton for ITT as a Test Engineer before taking a transfer with them to Fort Wayne Indiana.

With TLC, an expert can sure make a plain piece of cedar look handsome.
BB, you sure make cedar look good.

I told Fred that it looked Gorgeous, but I also might be a little biased!  Really looking forward to seeing it up close.  He does really nice work, I'm sure this will result in more orders.
