As mentioned above, I will try and focus on the use of the SHopBot tool in making signage. Here is a piece currently being worked on in our shop that makes use of paint masks, and different finishing techniques.Here is some dirt on this piece, it is 4' X 6' Vertical grain cedar with a walnut stain and several coats of Spar varnish. It is double sided (same design carved on both sides) the words Dental, Dentaire and phone numbers are v-carved with a 120Deg v-bit and the worde centre is prismatic or bevel carved with the same 120 degree v-bit. the background black colour is glass smalts and the gold due to clients budget constraints is one shot gold lettering enamel.

If this sort of thing excites you, then drop me an email and let me know you plan on attending this years Team Canada Camp ShopBot.
