The Review & Express has moved into a new office at 607 N.Franklin St. in Watkins Glen. NY. This carved High Density Urethane sign is hanging from a metal sign bracket which will allow the sign to swing in the wind.
This sign was carved on my CNC Router from solid 1/2" PVC. After painting it was Gilded with 23 Karat Gold Leaf. The sign is located at the Law Office of John C.T. Hayes in Odessa, NY.
Anyela's Vineyards & Estate Winery is located in Skaneateles, NY. This is the top of the line when it comes to signs! The posts are (very rare) 6" x 8" solid Redwood! I hand -hewned the posts using a hundred year ols dry-bar. The entire sign structure including the sign panel is Redwood. The older this sign gets, the better it will look! The boards were planed and jointed at Hanson's Woodworking in Hector, NY. The boards (for the sign panel) were then glued and clamped at my shop. The glued-up panel was then taken to Chicone Cabinet Makers in Montour Falls, NY where it was sanded on their large sander. After the sign was cut to shape and carved, the panel went BMS Manufacturing where "Richie" hand crafted a 1" wide brass retaining ring. All of the carved lettering was the hand painted with "Sizing" (an oil mixture that dries to a tack after 24 hours). Then the 23 Karat Gold Leaf was applied. The sign was installed and it is beautiful as is the winery! When in the area visit Anyela's Winery.
Tis is the new sign for GOODRICH Park at the Watkins Glen Elementary School. The posts are Pressure Treated 4x4 wood covered with PVC covers. The back panel is 3/4" MDO signboard. The sign panel is 1" PVC which was carved on my CNC Router. It was painted and the main copy and cove border was Gilded with 23 Karat Gold Leaf.
New Dimensions is located in Elmira, NY. The backboard is 3/4" MDO Signboard. The letters are cut from 1" High Density Urethane and Gilded with 23 Karat Gold Leaf. The posts are Yellow pine.
This Mahogany/Gold Leaf sign was made for Tim Coleman's "special" room at his home!
The backboard of this sign is 3/4" MDO sign board. The letters are cut and beveled from 1" High Density Urethane. They are painted and then Gilded with 23 Karat Gold Leaf. The posts are Yellow pine. The sailboat & street number are carved & painted. The name board is carved and Gilded. The sign is in Ithaca, NY.
I made this case for my Model 94 Winchester 30/30 Rifle. It was manufactured in 1969. It is in a case because it has never had a shell in it! I would love to shoot it but I can't bring myself to do it! The back board is Mahogany which was carved on my new CNC Router. The glass was removed for the photo to prevent glare.
This new Hazlitt Winery sign started with a 4' x 5' x 1.5" thick TEAK laminated panel. It will not have any finish as we want the "weathered look as the Teak will hold up in the weather for years and years. The blank shape was cut and the eadges were routered to the Cove shape. This was the end of the use of Power Tools! From here on it was chisels only! I carved the sign with a "rough" gouged look. This will add to the effect of the 23 Karat Gold leaf as it reflects the sunlight. The yellow in the letters is the "sizing" that is hand painted in the letters that will adhear the 23 Karat Gold sheets to the letters. Larry Orr did the handpainting of the Hazlitt logo on an Aluminum sheet that was attached to the sign.

Kathryn Karpinski of Finger Lakes Endodontics opened her new office in Elmira, NY and requested a new sign be designed. This is the finished product. The sign is 48" x 32" with a main panel of 3/4" MDO. The lettering, name boards and the tooth are all carved High Density Urethane.

Ribbon and rooster are carved from High Density Urethane and painted with enamels. The Red Wood was not finished with any coating and the metal bracket around the top of the sign was not painted so it could rust. The older it gets, the better it looks!
