Hand Carving A Wood Sign - No CNC Needed Bigfoot Love

Episode #850 Today, we're making a cool little stock sign using our Sasquatch Love template and 1.5" Clarendon letters.
Stock signs are always a good idea to have on hand, especially if you're carving onsite and trying to make some sales. This one is pretty cool!

So - this was done freehand? Very cool but is that something that most folks can also do???

[@oldave100]

Yes, all we do is freehand and we have been teaching other people to do this for decades. Over 2500 videos... If you have specific questions you can email me directly, [e-mail]

[@carvedsignsbradleyalan7785]

I sell the hell out of Bigfoot signs.

[@oldave100]

Bigfoot is a huge market!

[@susanwoodcarver]

Love this! Going to have to order the Sasquatch and the liner bit.
How many coats of clear did you need?
Thanks, guys!
Hugs ❤❤❤

[@oldave100]

Thanks Susan! We put a total of 6 coats on this one.

[@SawdustmakerLori]

Great looking sign and excellent narration! You and Eric make it look so easy. I love watching you guys carve!!! Just curious if Amy likes to carve. I can't recall ever seeing her do any signs. I bet she would enjoy making pieces with dog themes! Happy Easter to all of you!!!

[@oldave100]

Thanks Lori! Amy's done a little bit of carving, but she focuses more on dog training HAHA

[@SykesFW]

Do y’all ever get to Mississippi, maybe the Canton flea market, it happens twice a year

[@oldave100]

We've never been there, but would definitely like to check it out one of these days!

[@diggerslighting]

how do you get such sharp lines with your paint? I only be able to get fuzzy lines

[@oldave100]

Try to spray directly down and not have any angle on the can. See if that helps

[@Mickeyville2]

Really good instructional video. Sign came out great!

[@oldave100]

Thanks Mickey!

[@billlarrabee9436]

Great looking sign and it was fun watching you carve it.

[@oldave100]

Thanks Bill!

[@doncampbell7208]

I always look forward to your videos!! Just curious as to what mounting hardware you use?

[@oldave100]

Thanks Don! We usually use "S" hooks and screw eyes for signs this size

[@doncampbell7208]

Thanks for the info much appreciated!!

[@snoredizzle3242]

Yes, in my way to the store to bye Mr April❤

[@oldave100]

We sure appreciate it!

[@MelvinNewman-r7l]

Thanks for the video

[@oldave100]

Any time!

[@rdl737]

What is the size of your blank piece?

[@oldave100]

This one was 6"X24"

[@rdl737]

Thanks! Just ordered your large beginners kit. Can’t wait to start making!😊👍

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍. Thanks Ryan

[@oldave100]

Any time, Pete!👊👊

[@tallpaul7657]

It's incredible to see such clean lines! A quick question, are some woods easier, i find that the router on some wood i have carved doesn't maintain a constant speed, and on parts of the grain, it passes quicker, then slows down again in my hands

[@oldave100]

Thanks Paul! Yeah, the grain plays a HUGE roll in how easy it is to keep a good line. The hard/soft is a pain HAHA

[@tallpaul7657]

@oldave100 can you recommend a few types that you find has less hard and soft features, I know a while ago I watched one of your videos that had I information on it, i must get some of that spray that helps with bleeding as that has caused me some headache so far on a few projects

[@oldave100]

@@tallpaul7657 we like cedar and pine. It has a lot more to do with the individual boards than the type of lumber.

[@tallpaul7657]

@oldave100 ah, ok, I will try testing on scraps of the main board and see how it feels before setting out on a project. Thanks again for all your help and advice. It makes the hobby so much more fun, I have also been putting in time on a scroll saw and having so much fun using that alongside the router.
