Not really into woodworking lately but trying to keep my mind off of current events
Was asked if I could make something from a picture
I was told this item was approx 100 dollars online
Of course the ones online have carved out stars and I have zero patience for that
I used the scrap 2 bys and actually purchased a 1x10 for 12.74
The numbers were purchased at orange borg for 2.93 each
9 x 23 but can be made any size
The ones I need are only one or two numbers
I'm only showing it here because I believe this would be another great simple easy project for craft fair vendors
Probably purchase numbers in bulk
I'm sure it would fetch 50-60 bucks at fair
People love things made customized for their home well I know me and my friends do
I made 3 of them in 4 hours
Sprayed a little spar urethane and it's good to go when they dry

Allen, if you don't mind, I will show this to CJ and I think that it will become next year's 4H wood project. It is awesome!

He should make a few at once and see if he can sell some of them locally

Set up the cnc to carve out the stars

I plane the 2 bys down to an inch thick
It cleans up the bad spots
I sand a little but a more rustic unsanded product might be more desirable
