Nice, the Sarino one looks more interesting from a technique point of view.

Have noticed that all your signs have a very unique appeal to them. Well done!

We don't have many golf and curling clubs around here.
Look nice! I bet they are a lot lighter than countertops.

Hey... I don't even install the signs, but yes.. a LOT lighter. I can throw around a 4x8x1.5" sheet of HDU all day and not feel the thing. BTW, the decorating decisions, re: colour are not mine to make. I design the basic shapes and layout and cut them on the router. That is what I get paid for so I can put some money away for a motor home.

The signs which are installed all over the city now, are selling themselves based on the 'dimensional' look. I am working towards bolder designs and hoping to learn from the master himself, Dan Sawatzky from

summer, curling in the winter--at the same facility. Bravo! How are these fastened onto the rock?
The signs and painting look good.

I'm surprised you can't get "Golf and Curling Club" signs off-the-shelf. :)

They're screwed to a slab of marine ply which is TapCon'd to the stone using shims for flatness. Then Dave mixes up some matching paint (to the rock) and then uses stainless screws to attack the signage to the boards. Countersunk and filled, then spot painted. He photographs the screw locations before hiding them, in case the sign gets damaged and needs to be repaired.
This might be of some interest to you...a collector and restorer of antique British sports cars wants me to make some dashboards for him. He is handing me the slabs, veneers and .dxf files. So I bought a vacuum pump, am building a control circuit for the pump and making myself a vacuum bag. I have a lot of homework to do on finishing those re; weather , cold, heat etc. Exotic wood, British sports cars, a CNC, and he brews his own ales...dayum, life can be rough.
Truer words were never spoken than by a few ShopBotters who told me just to "go ahead and buy one of those damned thangs, because a year from now you will have NO idea what you're going to be doing with it, but it will be busy..."
Thank you, kind sir.

Beautiful work, you are an artist.
And to think my wife and I are very happy with that simple shelf you made for us.

They're extremely creative. Love the Boardroom M environment. (Not real dippy about his woodgrains, though. Too fake.)
Talk about your own personal dream coming true. Nice! Lucky guy.

You might be able to build on extra work at each of the golf courses. I have seen 3D maps at the tee boxes showing lay outs of the tee box, fair way, bunkers, lakes, and greens. Just a thought.

You need a sign or two. Now's a good time to place your order.

Yes... IIRC these maps were about 12 x 24" on average, mounted on a post just above the stats/information about the hole.
