We do all the 3-D signs for this customer, and this particular project was for the entry to their new lodge. We worked closely with the wrought iron designer who did a lot of other work on the project, including the entry. Our task was to produce four 3-by-3-ft. sandblasted single-faced signs and a set of cutout letters.
There were four stone columns at the entry, and we did a sandblasted sign on 15-lb.
SignFoam HDU board for each one. Two of the columns supported a beam structure that went over the entry road, and the letters went on that beam.
