Hi. I would like to make a lawn wood sign like I have sign at boutiques. The signs may be for sports fans of certain football or baseball teams or holiday related. The sign post is 48" tall, 2 1/2" wide, 1" deep. The other pieces of wood that are screwed into the sign are 14" wide, 3" tall.
What would be the best wood to use for this project (however, not very expensive!)? What type of paint would hold up the best?
Thanks in advance! LL
