Campsite personalized signs

We got ours at a recent trip to Branson, MO at a place called "Here's Your Cedar Sign". It's a little hole in the wall place, but very reasonable prices, and they will ship. They don't have a website, but here's their facebook page:

I made my own. Actually, several of them. Here's how I did it.

I took a photo (actually several of them) of my trailer and tow vehicle. I then took the photo and put it on a Xerox copier and blew it up to 17 x 11 size. I then took the paper blow up and cut the paper down so get rid of excess. I pasted that to a board. I then used my scroll saw and cut along the edges and had a perfect replica of my camper.

The space under that was reserved for my name.

So after it was all cut out, I sanded it then painted everything with a base coat (white). After that dried, I sketched out the windows, doors, all the details and then with model paint, I painted in all the details (both sides of the sing). Once everything was done and I was happy with it. I top coated it with Varnish (about 3 coats) to give it a nice protection. I attached two small eyelets on the top, attached a small link chain and "who-lah!" Done.

Did it take time to do .... Yes!

When we traded trucks, I did another one with the new truck and trailer. When I traded trailers, I did another one with the second truck and new trailer. I did this several times. Finally, I simply wore myself out making these, so don't have one for my current rig.

For obvious reasons, I'm not putting a post of what the sign looks like since it has my name on it.

You can always go to Hobby Lobby and get the lettering, paint, and lumber and easily make one yourself. You can get wooden letters to attach to a board, all kinds of wooden decorations, designs, and styles.

Why buy something that someone else made. Your name is as personal as you. Why not make your own and then you've really got something to be proud of!

We met one gentleman making wood stuff and signs, and doing woodcarving(complete with shavings) at his campsite. However, because it was a federal park, he could not sell anything there, and had another outlet close by. However, if you made a donation to his favorite charity, he could and did give them away.

I used elite engraving and they were quick and did a nice job.

Check Etsy. We bought a custom wood sign on there and I am please with the purchase.

Here is what I hang up.

This probably wont help you much but we found a guy at the KOA in Virginia Beach this past summer. He did chainsaw carvings and hand routed/carved signs etc. Quite talented and a lot of detail, not like your average CNC Machine mass produced junk. He just had a little area set up right in the campground by the main building.
