Check out the dude on the right side of the first picture. That gives you an idea of how big this sign is for a hand carved sign. This is the biggest one I've done so far. It's 12 feet wide and over five feet high.(the panel itself) It weighs a bit over 500 pounds.
It was a tough one to carve because it was so wide I had to carve with the chisels at arms length. Not a lot of power at full reach.
The sign is made of 1 1/2" Cora foam in three layers for a total of 4 1/2" thick. It has a 1 1/2" square steel tube frame inside that weighed about 100 pounds.
It took 5 firemen and myself to lift it into position 4 feet up on the posts.
