Very cool, how'd you do the Indian? Is that a decal or did you use a stencil of some sort...... or??I took a pallet from work and made a sign to hang. I rusted the metal strips to make them look older View attachment 576968

No I dont plan on selling any right now. All the ones I made before were either gifts or for a charity to auction off. I do these to help wind down when I need to. If I were to sell them it would make it a job and I'm trying to get away from that and retireAre you selling these, I'd be interested. I really like the dealership one.

The hardest part is getting sharp edges on rough sawn wood. During the first one I did I figured out how to do it. At least it worked for me
Great idea. I've done some advertising banners like this in the dinosaur days of the overhead projector. But getting good sharp edges when painting on wood can be tricky. You've got a good steady hand.
First, that looks awesome! Second, how did you rust the strips?I rusted the metal strips to make them look older
I sprayed them with vinegar to etch the metal, when dry I sprinkle a bit of salt on it and then spray hydrogen peroxide on it. It makes it rust quicklyFirst, that looks awesome! Second, how did you rust the strips?
