House Sign

Great looking sign. A nice job. Whats that sucker weigh.

In hindsight, it’s too heavy! But I was thinking that it would be more dramatic if it was a heavy timber floating. I roto-hammered two-2’x1” bars horizontally into the rock to support the base and then four angle brackets to stabilize it.

Nice sign, Harold! How do you finish something like this to protect it from the elements over the years?

That is an impressive sign. It looks well anchored and should serve the client well.

Beautiful. Looks really massive.

This is really an innovative idea. I think that the carvings add a lot of detail and interest to the sign. It certainly would grab my attention if I were driving by.

Thanks for sharing.

Makes me want one for my property.

Wonderful job on the sign. Suspending it over the boulder with the curved log was an excellent touch.

Only downside: I give the owners a C- on the cheesy name for their place. <g>

That is really excellent, Harold. I really like the way you have designed the whole thing. Now, about Gecko ranching; do you sell them by the head or by the pound?

-- Thos. Angle, Owyhee Design, Oregon

That’s a good one Tom, but I think they just like Gecko’s.

The owners came up the name , which I kinda liked. It is personal, which is where we as craftsman find oppurtunity. They live in the Hawaiian Ranchos subdivision here in Hawaii, and when the owner was younger he wrote a book on geckos, so it really is a fitting name.

The finish is a spar varnish and it will need another coat every year or so form now on.

Great job, are those squirrel or some island lizard? Either way I love me :)

I like the sign, I like the name, and I really like Hawaii!
