I just finished building and painting this sign to hang in front of my home.
Testing the lights while still on my work bench.
Concept Sketch...changed it a little.

On the front of the house...and it snowed last night!

Found these great twigs that inspired me to build this Christmas sign. I wanted it to have a 1940's, Vermont, cabin feel. The components are cut from plywood and then each piece hand painted. The final detail was installing a set of Christmas lights.

It's out of the workshop and hanging in front of my home.

Great job.

Cheers!
