MY FIRST CUSTOM SIGN SALE ON ETSY STORE:grin:
Nothing complicated but very satisfying.
A huge Thank you to Inventables for getting me started and also to the forum members for sharing your knowledge.
I am a cnc dummy who is having fun learning something new everyday.

Happy holidays all.

You have some great example signs on your site. I predict you will be very busy!

very nice yeah those look like good signs for sure

Wood is clear cedar and I used a 60 deg V bit.
Software was vcarve desktop and UGS.
Before carving I used 1 part water based poly and 1 part water for the whitewash then a bit of sanding for distressed look.

Thanks

Good work!!

Looks Great!!!

Only thing i do not approve about Etsy is the often repeated ā€œhand madeā€ in the description of items when most if not all of them are machine made.

Anyhow, Nice work!

Hold on a minute, I need to make a bowl of popcorn.

what constitutes hand made though in this day and age?

if I cut on the cnc and then hand sand it is that handmade?
if I use a electric bandsaw to cut it out is that handmade?
if I use only non electric tools is that handmade?
if I use steam powered tools only is that handmade?

hard to tell now-a-days

my opinion is that anytime you use your hands to FORM a material manually that is considered handmade

Thatā€™s funny :smiley:
