I loved the lettering and design but
I wanted something large that you could sit out and people would see it immediately.
Kinda like a focus to get you in the outdoorsy mood.
So I went looking around in our garage and sheds until I found this old, solid board.
It was a large wood shelf from a wardrobe that I eventually used for a quilting cabinet.
It was large, like huge, had more shelves than I needed. I needed the room to stack quilts! So I had removed this shelf and saved it in case I ever wanted to put it back.
This was a first coat.

I used an exterior enamel by Rustoleum.
I just used rocks laying around to keep it off the ground while I painted, lol.
The board is way heavier than you think.
It was from a very old cabinet. It was solid.
After drying for a day, I used a black marker to write out the words.
I just looked at the Pinterest, smaller sign and kinda freehanded what I saw.
Arrows and all.

And here it is standing up.
Lots of error here and there but I don't want it to be perfect, it's just for an outdoor camping and fire pit area outback.

I ended up sealing it with some spray on clear coat. I hope that is enough to protect the marker lettering. If I see it running or so, I will follow up with a brush on polyurethane stain.
As for now, it's still fine.

As for now it's just a leaning sign. I think I will make a hinged leg for the back to lean it up on it's own soon.
And that's it. It's going to hopefully be used for many summers to come.
I am going to store it away each fall.
See ya'll next time!
