smitty0312 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I had a request to make a sign for a friend of theirs who has kept the family farm and not to sell it. My client gave me the idea with the Illinois shape and to run with it, this is what I came up with. The hardest part of this was cutting it because of it's large size of 20"T x 14"W.......I edge laminated 2 boards together to get the width I needed.....1st time for me doing this.....wood was white oak w/black painted luan backer screwed to back.....comments always welcomed.......Thank You Lucky2, jollyred, Rob and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
