Hello all,
I have had my ShopBot for a couple weeks now. Been mostly playing with it, learning alot. I have my first real project, which will be an outdoor sign for my kids school. I will be donating it hoping to learn from the experience and promote my small side business as well.
My question is what is a good outdoor sign material. The finshed sign will be roughly 3ft by 2.5 ft, about 2 to 3" thick. Im not quite sure about the design yet, but want to challenge myself and make a real high quality sign. The general theme will be a country/farm feel. Im thinking that one of these easily carvable man made products would be best, but I know nothing about them, other then the tidbids Ive learned from the forum. I hoping to find a local source as well. Im in the greater Sacramento area. Any feedback from all you pros would be great. Thanks on advance.
