Project Information
This is a Poker sign I made for my uncle-in-law's poker house. On Saturday our family gathers there to visit and play poker. It's a real fun time for adults and kids alike and I wanted to make something to say thanks for allowing all of us to come over and eat and enjoy each other's company.
I used a 1/4" router bit in a plunge router to recess 1/16" for the cards and 1/8" for the chips. The lettering is hand engraved and then painted black. As for the "antique" look, I first sealed the project in a clear poly. then i beat on it with a small chain, hammered in some nail heads, and basically just dented it randomly. Then I took some ebony stain and rubbed it into the dents, which created the black spots.
