Free Standing Wooden Letters

[Valewoodturner]

For my daughters wedding next year we are looking for someone who can make some free standing wooden letters, They need to be about 6 inches high and about an inch thick so they can stand on there own, They need to spell out Mr & MRS BEAN in something like Pine. With posibly a glossy varnish.

 

Can anyone help here with a quote or ideas... ??

use a signwriter to cut you out the lettering, use as a template on some locally milled timber.... get the jigsaw out with some extra reach blades!!!!!!

I'd use a PC to print out the letters singly on A4 for my template then rough out with a jigsaw and finish with a router...you could even cut a template from thin MDF and then use a router with wheel cutter to sort everything but the tight angles.

 

Even then letters with curved bottoms won't stand..so consider thinner letters wedged into a grooved stand or with individual stand-offs - or a script where even curved letters like S have a flat bottom

Hi,

 

A little company called Love Letters do exactly what you want - freestanding wooden letters for weddings - www.lovelettersdirect.weebly.com

 

They make them to order so can do MR & MRS with surnames etc. and in any colours you like.

 

I found the prices very reasonable too compared to some 'boutique' wedding suppliers!

Regards
