Add a warm welcome to your seasonal signs
By Betty Padden
This scroll-style sign looks great by itself, but can also add a warm welcome to your choice of seasonal banners. You could also change it up by typing your address or another message in a word processing program and carving that in the banner instead of the word “welcome.”
Want to carve the matching seasonal signs? Check out the 2014 issues of Woodcarving Illustrated (Issues 66-69) for four designs.
