done a ton of these, started with a purchased file then my daughter (2nd year graphic arts) does all the custom designs. This is just a sample, very popular. Rough siding board, I hate the rough but people love it.

Nice job Robert, I recognised the words straight away! How big is it?
That is a beautiful piece of wood, unusual to get that much figure in a small piece like that. I made a dining room table with a similarly figured piece of curly maple and it still looks stunning after 10 years
Nice one, looks stunning.

thank you Sir, yes, I’m pleased with this one. Finished with a few coats of boiled linseed oil then satin poly.
Stunning work. Did you design the guitar wording “freehand” or did you use a piece of software…
I enjoyed the acoustic version composition due to the hole.

so, that design in particular was the one that got me interested in doing these. It was a purchased file. I have since had my daughter do several others for me, she uses illustrator (text to area) she has not yet mastered the sound hole. It really is a ton of work unless you know exactly what you’re doing. I like that version best as well, the sound hole just makes it.

Thank you for your reply. Your work is beautiful. Have you tried using a 220 grit sandpaper to remove/reduce the smoke marks around the lettering.?
Cheers and keep up the great work .
if you zoom in on the pine ones you’ll see it is rough textured lumber. can’t remove smoke… it also adds to the “rustic” nature of the rough wood… I use the term rustic as an excuse
Stunning and beautiful! I agree on the rustic look as a result of the smoke.
Cheers
