Architectural Metal & Wood Sign      It was a beauty when it went up though over time it didn't hold up as well as I would have wished. By request of the customer we used a composite panel to be inserted into the steel oval and it just didn't weather with the finish they supplied. I believe I wanted solid oak panel but was out-voted. Still it's a great sign. The design was a collaboration between Andy Peters and myself. The steel pike it hangs from is 7' long and 3" thick. The large 1/4" thick metal Ss on both sides were plasma cut and welded to the 1/2" x3" thick metal oval and were used to hang the sign from the mounting pole creating a great design effect.
