Distressed Wood Sign Painting

[Hytek Tools]

Hi all, I wrote this tutorial like a month ago and it is on my site and it would be great if it were of some benefit to someone here at signs 101.

Link to tutorial that is covering distressing wood signs using layers of wood stains, paints and distressing techniques. Thank you fror looking. You can see the full tutorial on my website.

Thank you guys! I hope to make some more of these someday soon! I learned a lot from forums so I like to try and return the favor when possible.
Glad you like the write-up, I know it could be better. Need to take more pictures of the process and explain each step better. It was my first tutorial write up though som maybe I will get better at them.

Very nice tutorial Melissa. And the work speaks for itself. I've only done a few somewhat distressed signs myself. Hard to break old habits. I smiled when I saw you roughing up your wood blank with the sawzall. I personally like the electric chain saw

Here's one I did recently for the reception area inside an office, only I inlaid the logo which was made from PVC. Do you also make "Non Distressed" signs also?

Edit: Never mind, just found your Gallery. Very nice style you have!

Really nice mix of pvc with that wood, great sign! What kind of wood is that?
