Gone Fishing Wooden Sign

For this project I created a wooden sign that means something to me, "Gone Fishing". I like going fishing a lot and when my friends and family would ask where I was I would say gone fishing. So I crated a wooden sign with the dimensions of 20x11 that say gone fishing.

After thinking of what I should do I came up with an idea of a wooden sign. I got my notebook and started coming up with ideas for it to say.

After I got done with my short sketch I decided I liked it a lot and I go to work. I used a program called Vcarve pro it is very easy friendly.

1. First I sized my material to be cut in half. It was 22 in by 11 in, I will later cut off 1 inch off from each side.
2. Second I used a Milter saw to cut it into half.
3. Third I sanded the sides so when I glued them together they would fit well.
4. Forth I used clamps to clamp the wood together.

1. After I glued the wood together and ran it through a planer to get the first layer to be flat, Also sanded after I used the planer.
2. I stained the wood so when I used the CNC router the wood design will show better.

1. I used our school CNC Router to cut out my wooden sign.
2. Next I cut of an inch off each side. (I clamped an inch of each side so it would say down and not move)
3. I used a router on the top edge so that it would not be sharp and so the it would look better.

Have a great day!!!!!!!:)
