I will be the first to admit that making "Signs" is a challenge, especially when the design has not been previously created. For the one sign that I have created, it took me five (5) iterations until I had an approved design. I know, for an absolute fact, that I will never be a professional sign maker.
"Names" are a favorite for both buyer and seller. They are fun to cut and inexpensive. I have cut names for everyone and everything. Standing names are cut from 3/4" Select DF or equivalent. I do not keep any of these items in stock, therefore, they are cut and finished when ordered.
