So I had this great idea - use the same lettering as my wife used on my pouches:
and make a sign. I had a thin walnut board to cut letters out of and a cherry short I could work a backing board out of. So I blew the letters up larger, taped them on the walnut and went after it. I didn't follow the suggested route (aka pattern) faithfully but my minor deviations were consistent enough to introduce a slight scrawl that I am happy with:
The letters are just placed on the backing, not glued yet. I need to come up with a way to place them fairly accurately so I don't leave a glue trail if I move them around. I would just use yellow glue (it will be used outdoors, but stored indoors) but I am open to other suggestions. I think I need to sand the letters to round the sharp corner slightly. I was planning to do it with a radial (mop) sander on my rotary tool. Other ideas are to stone them (also with rotary tool) or not worry about it.
Suggestions are welcome...
