Looks good, if you need practice, you can make me one too!

Just kidding! Good to see someone your age take so much pride in their work! Keep up the good work and good luck this coming season with all the improvements.

Pine will last a long time outside, just put some linseed oil on it every few years.

Nice looking sign, I bet it will help you sell a lot of syrup!!

That is a beautiful sign. You should get an a ++++ for the maple leaf alone. If you ever get in the position to make more leafs I'll buy a couple.

peacemaker i used a fret saw to cut the a's o's p's and r's and used a spindle sander to sand it all or for the other letter i used a band saw and hand sanded it and i just put the second layer of waterlox marine finish i can only put one coat on a class cuz it takes an hour to do one coat with all the corners and stuff butt im hopping to put 2 more
