New neighborhood sign I made.

I love doing entrances to neighborhoods.

Let me know if you know of one!

I grew up in Stratham in the early 80’s. The Collectors Eye has been a landmark in Stratham as long as I can remember.

It recently got a facelift, so it was only fitting to update the iconic sign.

It is a replica of the original sign. I and was able to reuse the patinaed copper detail to keep the antique feel.

The backer is made from iroko and will age nicely in our New England weather.

The letters are machine carved from 3/4” Komatex, which are attached via stud mounts. The fasteners into the building are hidden behind the letters to keep a nice clean look.

I will update with photos of two signs that hang above the porch.

Water Street BookStore in downtown Exeter.

This was one of the first businesses I approached when I branched out on my own. Took a while to get our ducks in a row, but I was finally able to get my hands on it!

I feel it’s a modern take on their original sign. The carving added dimension, and the book brings it to life.

Sign panel is made from Komatex and machine carved, while the book is SignFoam and done by hand.

Really enjoyed making this piece.

If you or anyone you know has an old sign that needs a little TLC, or a new business looking for some curb appeal, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I love making signs.

Instead of a restoration. Due to the original signs condition, we made a replica. Carved komatex with 3mm acm directly printed on tag line.

Couldn’t find the font anywhere, so I hand tranced the text from the original sign.

Fun to make, would do it again.

Currently working on the Water Street Bookstore sign in downtown Exeter. The machine carve had a mishap and had to start over 😫.

As you see in the picture, the bit plunged too deep causing the text to look like bubble letters!

Never good to have to start something over. It costs you time, money, and doubles your timeline.

I know every tiny detail of the signs I make. Whenever I drive by, I know the mistake is there. The goal is to have no one else to be able to see it. In this case 👎🏻 redo.

The other photo is of the books that will attached to the sign.

Should be hanging the sign in a couple weeks. I will update with some finished photos.

The WordBarn sign! This was a really fun sign for me. There were all kinds of ups and downs during the process. In the end, I feel the end result looks great!

Each letter is hand carved from iroko. They were originally stained, but after a short time, it was clear there was not enough contrast, so they were painted white and outlined in black.

I tried to document each step I took, but unfortunately gave up when it came to the interesting stuff 😂.

It’s nice to see it getting changed! Most signs I make look the same every time I drive by. I enjoy seeing what new events they have coming up.

Thanks to Ben from The Word Barn for his patience with the project!

Main entrance sign at NextEra Energy Seabrook.

Thanks to Kyle Barry for knowing me AND trusting me to take on the job.

Jackie for being my go to, and helping out tremendously on mapping the site out, supplying all the information I needed, and being safety conscious to make sure no one got hurt.

And to Ashlee, the top dawg at AMI Graphics for dealing with me.

Ryan 1 and Ryan 2 for being hands when I needed it.

Lance D (untagged for being cool)!

There are multiple other direction signs out up on the property. Photos to follow.

To most, a sign is a sign. To me, I look at it as a big art project. I appreciate every hand involved that helped me.
