These are done freehand with a router and a v groove bit. The Reel Inn was put on the customers own barn wood from their Grandpa’s old barn.

I am still blown away that you can free hand such straight lines. That is awesome. I love your work.

Thank you for your kind words. I guess it comes from lots of practice and cedar is an easy wood to carve. I have noticed it is easier to get straight lines when cutting across grain or diagonal and very hard to get straight lines when cutting with the grain. I don’t always get it straight on the first pass, I usually have to go back and shave off a little on the high spots and even up the low spots but in the end it comes out pretty good. I try to choose a font that is very forgiving, that doesn’t show the mistakes as much as some do.
