House sign

Our 3D printed house sign is falling apart. My boyfriend designed a new one inspired by US National Park roadsigns, and it seemed an appropriate thing to cut first on the newly rebuilt CNC. I used (too) thick CVG fir and a V bit for the first time. The engraving was a little deeper than I wanted, should have done a test cut. Ah well — still happy with it. Next he will paint and finish it!

Looks very nice! Will you paint the recessed number and text? Might look even better then
