Routed Sign Making #3: Wood removal with various routing bits
Now that the letters are outlined with a stop-cut we want to ‘rough out’ the material inside the letters. I use clamps to hold down the wood so that there is no movement while routing. The clamps are repositioned as necessary for a clear work spa...

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless

How goes? I am in central Utah. We spent the last two summers logging in Duck Creek, about 30 miles from Briah Head Ski Resort.
I see you carve with a chainsaw, I need to learn.
How long you lived in Utah? You from WA?

Things are good. A little drier and less wood than the Seattle area. ;(
I’ve lived up in Spanish Fork and West Jordan for a number of years and got relocated to WA then returned to Utah last fall further south in Cedar City. I’m heading up to Park City in July for a commission. Chainsaw’ing a 12’ stump with some bearcubs climbing for a beehive. I’m always looking for wood material and maybe we can connect at some time? I can give you some pointers using the saw if you like.
I love the Duck Creek area because of the trees and COOL breezes! If you need any help cutting let me know. I can swing a saw or maybe just enjoy the show. Thanks for the response.
