Hi everyone,
I’m about to start work on making a sign out of oak. I have my piece of oak and template printed. Plan is to go round the template with a knife and chisel and then chisel or rout out the letters and numbers. Any advice/views on how you would do this?
I’m then thinking of painting the letters and then sanding it all down, hopefully leaving me with paint just in the routed areas, getting ride of any messy bits.
With regards to treating it afterwards, I’ve got no experience treating something that’s going to live outside. Any advice on this will also be much appreciated.
Many thanks!
