Sign for the House

Over the last year I slowly worked on a fancy beach sign for the house. Mostly the vacation and rental homes have them but Ally insisted that we have one too! I spent the most time deciding on the layout. Finally with design in hand, I loaded it into the CNC Router and got started. This also gave me a reason to add endstops for my x/y axis which made aligning the various layers much easier than the eyeballing I had done previously. My kids helped me with the painting, we used an acrylic paint with a couple coats of poly to finish it off.

I’ve had it up for a while now and it still looks good and garners many compliments from many a passersby.
