Custom Hand Lettering on Textured Wood

Guys I am living for the textures in this sign I painted recently! I'll be honest, when my friend first brought me the unpainted sign and asked me to customize it, I was pretty nervous about how I was going to get anything resembling a straight line with all these notches and grooves. There was a definite learning curve but the texture made for a really cool, nostalgic look that I ended up loving..The process is much like my other projects, starting with a sketch and ending with some pretty words.  I started with the raw wooden sign, stained it a natural,dark color, sketched it all out in pencil 1200 times because I'm not good at proportions and then painted the letters with acrylic white paint. Take a peek at the end product below!​

This is amazing! I want to have my name engraved in this textured wood. It looks really modern and a perfect design we can put inside our house. Nowadays, more and more people are appreciating the beauty of the wood. Perhaps, it is because we are so done with plastic materials, and it is about time to use other earthly stuff! But of course, cutting of wood should always be in moderation so we also need to watch out for it!
