I dusted off the duplicator yesterday to carve out these signs for my friend’s grandsons’ rooms.
I had to call to get the correct spelling and I’m glad I did for Johnathan. I’d have left the h out!
They are meant to hang on the wall or they can free stand on chest of drawers.
They are made from 5/8” Koa that I found in the wood room that was left over from another project.

I debated on painting in the letters, but we’ll see how they like them just like this. It can be done later.

They are finished with clear matte spray.

Nice work Jim.
Kids seem to just love to have their names in lights.
I like them plain too – but hey…

Thank you all for all the nice comments. It looks like many agree that they are okay without painting the letters.

Larry, that is the only font I have. I’d like to have more but that set of letters and numbers 1 3/4” high cost me $100!!!

Joe, as for the duplicator, here is project that shows it in action: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/29884

I did the edges with a hand router. I just put them on the router table to take their pictures- it was the only place clear!

I really like them just as they are. I think for a bedroom they are better like this, without the letters being colored. I bet they will be thrilled them.
