Finally, A New Post...hole digger.

There is a company in Kewanee, Il called Rhino. They make air operated post drivers.
I've had a chance to get to know the CEO and he's asked me to work on his sign. We'll be doing a double sided version on the ground, and a single sided version on the building.

The design was originally based on something another sign maker had started, but had not finished.
I carefully took measurements and initially began to produce it "as - is " with a couple small changes.
Vectric Aspire made duplicating the original work and making modifications very easy.

Here it is after carving:

Here's the thing, though.  I just hate to let an opportunity pass to bring more dimension to a project like this.  I brought in an appropriate texture and sent a render to the client.  Being able to save out a render either in color or shaded is a really cool feature of Aspire.

The client agreed that this would be a great addition.  Here it is in progress:

What are the holes?  Get this:  The staff at Rhino are talented machinists.  They designed and created special stainless steel bolts that will be used on the sign for the front lawn:

This will be a great looking set of signs....
Here it is all carved.
