Custom signs and announcements in natural wood and solder
$45
At Workshop87 we are constantly trying to stretch our skills and try new techniques. So when one of our favourite people asked us to make them a small sign for their wedding, we decided the time was ripe for a new technique.
The request was originally for a small sign that was to stand next to a rustic fruit crate, asking people to place cards in the crate. Rather than simply printing 'cards' onto a wioden round, we tried something different. We hand carved the word into the centre of a round of gorgeous mulberry wood, ensuring we used the font and script the future bride preferred. Once we have carved down approx 6mm, we then melted plumber's solder into the carving, creating a big molten blob.
From there we sanded and sanded and sanded, until the solder was down to the level of the wood. We used gradually finer grades of sandpaper until the wood was silky smooth and the solder shone likes mirror.
Finally, we mounted the Mulberry round on a larger round and coated them with a coating of natural beeswax for a soft sheen.
If you have a sign, notice or event you would like to commemorate in wood and solder, contact Workshop87 (find us on Facebook and Instagram) and let us know what you are thinking of, so we can discuss how we can assist. This sign was used in the wedding, so we can't sell it to you, but we could do one to your own specifications for a very reasonable amount.
