I disagree. That did not turn out “pretty good”. It turned out REALLY good! I couldn’t have done that with a full set of carving knives.And you did it with flat end chisels? I’m impressed. I especially like the horse head. I hope he hangs that under an eve or roof so it will stay as nice as it is now. It bugs me when I make something nice for someone and then they don’t take care of it.

You have a very lucky neighbor indeed ! And it doesn’t matter wether you use carving tools, or cabinet tools, or elephant toes, If it ends up looking like this sign, you’ve done well indeed ! I agree with Charlie, and gfadvm !

That’s what makes having a shop fun. Doing things for friends that are unique and special.

I love the free form lettering! The measured straight perfect letters are okay,but this says hand made craftsman, all over it.

Very cool…...................

I think Andy made it really funny and I laughed all night by saying “you’re fast!” LOL

PS – It was a little different putting paint on wood.
