EAT

When I saw the EAT letters on Sweet Pickins blog I knew I had to make some.  The day after I spied them, hubby came home with a small bundle of old weathered fence pieces, perfect for this project. 

 I simply laid the pieces out on the driveway to figure out cuts, etc.  I made sure they were the same width and height.  The A was the biggest challenge. but not too difficult. 

I laid it out and drew lines where I needed to cut and then took them to the miter saw to find the right angle.  BTW, here is my miter saw of choice--it was a Christmas present and we got a screaming deal on it with some trade ins of OLD tools.

 

I used small pieces of wood on the back to assemble the letters, sorry no pictures of that, these were taken at 6 AM before leaving for the market.  I left the wood natural--had to lightly sand it to remove possible splinter hazards (my hands are always a splintery mess) and used a clear wax on the wood.
