Handmade “Man Cave” Sign

This was a custom order that I made for my friend Rachel – an old college friend. She wanted a man cave sign for her boyfriend, and liked the old beach wood I had been using for my other handmade wooden signs. We collaborated a lot on this project since it was so different from what I was used to making and we focused on getting a more rustic look. It was a tedious project (those are hand-carved letters), but totally worth it in the end. She loved how it turned out and I’m very happy to have learned a totally new way to construct and finish my signs!

Handmade Wooden Signs

| Andrea Watson O'Dell

 

Since early this spring, my newest creative adventure has involved re-purposing weather worn pieces of wood. I fell in love with the the decorative quotes I kept seeing on Pinterest and finally decided to make my own version. The beach-worn wood gives the signs a more earthy, rustic feel and I chose copper chain so that it would contrast nicely against the washed out paint.  You can find my hanging wooden signs at The Mermaid’s Purse in Surf City, North Carolina.
