I love it so much I think I need at least 3
one for the alley entrance
1 for the other side of the cave (the side facing the house)
and one with coat hangers for our gear.

I'm so excited!

Thanks.

Here is one without the "E" and rendered in mahogany. I probably run this one on the weekend in pine to see how it looks. I don't have any mahogany.
Hmmm ive plenty of mahogany. problem is it is in LARGE pieces. would love to use birdseye maple.  have some of that too. houses former owner was awoodworker ( a hobby) I had found his stash a few years ago.

When you say large does it mean trunk size, truck size. What size are your boards?

I'd say 18" for the gear rack with probably 4 to 6" on the lower part to mount hooks.
The two up on the  buildings - 24" probably would work if you can do it.
A marine grade plywood could work just fine. Or join together narrower boards. The gear rack will be inside. The others will be out in the elements.

I have done a view in PT pine. Came out nice. Will run one.

Here is a rendering for the treated board size: (also one for Florida :)

I liked the earlier one you rendered in mahogany. Because? The "West Seattle Bike Cave"was completely below the Suzuki logo. In the latest one, it is munched up to the Suzuki logo. Drop the WSBC text down so it doesn't interfere with the Suzuki logo.

Gotcha.  Its because of the board with. Home depot only had them in 1x6.   The wider boards were 2x10s. I need to plane them down to the right thickness. Lately they only nave crappy boards with lots of knots  and cracks. Not worth a flip.

This one is fresh of the machine. Have not sanded it yet.

So... How much does a sign like this run?! My garage is dying to have one on the wall :)

Would it also be possible to see what it looks like with the Suzuki logo and all but with GSX-R instead of GS500? Since I'm in GS limbo lol

Cool. Pretty much anything can go on there. Been a little busy the last view days. I need to draw one for Yama also. I have an activity this Saturday, but I get on it as soon as I can. I will draw it up and come up with a price, varies with size and run time.

Second that. Gulf coast. :thumb:

I got mine. Nice! I need to clear coat them then highlight the lettering with Suzuki blue. Ir if outside, dirt would naturally make the lettering stand out.
Waiting for a dry day here. Seattle has been in a week of perpetual fog. EVERYTHING is wet - worse than rain. Even in the carport, everything is wet. Fog goes everywhere - rain just falls down so things covered stay dry.
