My Dad is a big Chevy guy. Some of you may remember the Corvette picture I engraved on some canvas for him. This year for his birthday I had an idea for a simple, two layer sign with cutout shapes and letters. I think it came out pretty alright. Simple design, but, it’ll look just fine out in the garage. Ended up being 18" x 10"

Added a couple sawtooth style hangers to the back and even added a couple felt pads that ended up being the same thickness so it should sit nice and straight :slight_smile:

All PG materials, Walnut face with Basswood behind

Nice. It’s always fun when a simple piece comes out so good. You don’t have to overengineer every project. And I kinda like the way you held the R ‘center’ piece. I always do that bridge from the bottom, and honestly never occurred to me to do it from the top.
