Welcome Sign WIP
I normally don't post my WIP but this is the first cutting off my new Hawk. I have had this pattern for a while (it was purchased) but at 36" it was to long for my Dewalt to handle nicely.
The wood is 3/4 western cedar. I am tempted to just apply BLO followed by a couple coats of satin poly. It will be outside over a front door but protected from most of the weather by an overhang. I would appreciate any finishing recommendations.
Here is the full sign:
Here is a close up view:

Re: Welcome Sign WIP
Scott that is a nicely done sign project. I would finish it with outside safe finish like spar urethane or something equal.

Re: Welcome Sign WIP
You know that circular ripple effect that's created in water when something lands in it, like a small stone or a bug or something like that? Take another look at that grain pattern and tell me that isn't a ripple from something landing in the water. Very nice work!!

That's slick and by welcoming all those ducks it's bound to get even slicker around your place

Re: Welcome Sign WIP
Great job Scott I made a welcome sign for a lady that lives and Maine with a moose and I let it soak in Tung oil - I heard that it will protect it well - I haven't heard anything from her so I guess it is doing ok

Re: Welcome Sign WIP
That is really great! The use of the wood was perfect too. How do you like the Hawk?
