Johanna Report post Posted February 12, 2007 This sign hung on the front door for five years in Macon's sunshine and rain, and all I need to do is relace it (the suede rotted). It is 12 years old. I wrapped it with suede because I didn't have enough regular lace at the time. LOL Jon made the sign. Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenKate Report post Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) What's the finish? Laquer? Also, did you treat the flesh side with anything? Kate Edited February 13, 2007 by CitizenKate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna Report post Posted February 13, 2007 The scroll and the letters probably had Neat Lac applied. I honestly don't remember if it was antiqued or not, but it more than likely was. It either had Leather Balm with Atom Wax or Carnuba Cream as the "finish", and it would have been on both sides, because that's how Jon did things. I remember someone who should have known better wanting to buy the "stamps" he used for the letters, and him trying to keep a straight face. Jon wouldn't have understood the word "font", either, he called the different shapes of letters "styles", and sometimes he made them up. I think he had Al Stohlman's book memorized, too. We have 8 inches of snow today, and they are calling for at least six more. I ought to take the kids downstairs, find them something to do and rewrap the hoop. If I don't figure out something creative soon, they are going to drive me stark raving crazy. Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
