DSCN0733.JPG Why must I make everything so darned difficult?

SawdustDave Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share #420 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) UPDATE - SHOP SIGN PROJECT Finished and assembled. Four or five coats of poly and ready to hang. Pretty pleased with the way it came out EXCEPT FOR ONE THING... I decided the little sail boat in the center of the original just didn't really represent my "Ship Yard" since I don't actually build sail boats. I build SHIPS. So I've got to come up with something more appropriate for the center. Guess I'll have to break out the carving tools....
