Black Forest - Part 1

The next project we will look at is the sign is for an upscale restaurant in a beautiful new brick building that built to look a hundred years old.

The sign’s shape and details were inspired by the building’s cast iron windows, which were imported from a building salvaged in Paris.

The knight, featured on the sign also duplicated (in miniature) a larger piece inside the restaurant.

Finally, the sign’s bracket was hand forged in our shop. It reflects the style of the restaurant’s interior trim.

This double sided sign was routed from 30 lb. Precision Board HDU and measured 4' wide x 5' tall x 12" deep.

We will look back on the sign’s construction in our next instalment, but in meantime take a close look at the concept and think about how you would tackle this project if it came to your shop.
