I recently bought two 32 inch x 6 inch by 1/2 inch boards at a very cool salvage and antique shop in our area. I made a WELCOME sign out of each of them. I ran off some letters on my computer, printed them, cut them out, then traced them on the front of each board. I painted the letters with black acrylic paint, then sprayed each board with polyurethane. Chippy Vintage Board Welcome Sign Chippy Board Welcome Signs
