This customer approached me with their logo and asked to have it made into a 3D sign.
The first step was to design the CNC work paths…
Once all the components are made, we clean them up and start painting.
Once painting is complete, assembly begins, gluing and screwing…
Finished pics!

I have had my eye on this paint product from Modern Masters and gave it a try on a relief carving made out of HDU that I made for a recent project.
First, you apply the metal effects primer…
 Â
Then apply the 2 coats of the iron paint…
Then apply several coats of the rust activator spray. The rust increases with each application…
Now you have a rusted metal sculpture!!! (at least the illusion of one) There is one more step I don’t have a picture of and it’s a clear sealer that prevents the iron from oxidizing any more. I am very pleased with this product.

Phillips 66 commissioned a wood carving of their logo. This will be given to one of their customers in Athens Greece and eventually end up in Lebanon!
Here it is before the finish was applied.
Here it is after the satin poly pops the color and grain of the mahogany.

This customer sent their logo to have turned into a 3D sign.
This is the 3D sketch Rebekah created based on the logo.
First, all the pieces of weatherproof HDU were cut out and dry fit together.
Then the pieces were primed and painted and assembled.
Here is some video footage…

My friend and veteran sign maker, John Miller, from SignsbyAutografix in CT, created an excellent sign design for a local tailor that incorporated an antique sewing machine on the top. He asked me to make the sewing machine and he took care of the rest.
I used the CNC to cut out 3 profiles to glue up and then I used reference photos to carve the rest.

A customer showed up with this log disk he cut with his chainsaw. He and his wife are from Ireland and speak fluent Gaelic. They asked me to carve this saying into the wood as a gift for their friend. It means something like “there is no one like him”.( I could totally be messing that up)

This customer’s beloved pet, Holly, is getting old and she wanted to create a sign to memorialize her before she passes on. She sent me some pictures and the spelling of her name and this is what was made…
