Just curious, what are you using for your stock here? Is that just glued up smaller boards? It looks like it, from the joints that can be seen there between the planks. What kind of wood is that? Those plaques all look fantastic, by the way.
They are Oak bourbon barrel heads

Now that’s an awesome source! Good looking, too.
This looks amazing. How did you get the black in the writing? I tried painting my signs and then sanding over the top but the paint would leech into the grain.
You have to seal 'em first. Some guys use shellac with great success, I usually use lacquer. Really, as long as it will seal the wood, it will work. Then you just paint the top, and sand any mess away.
