L,M,N--Reclaimed Wood "Marquee" Letters

Maybe it is the elementary teacher in me.  Maybe it is that I am finally catching on to the letter trend. Maybe it is my need to use up bits and pieces of wood, but after making the YUM, (SHOWN HERE) I am totally groovin' on making letters from reclaimed wood.  

And yes, I said groovin', after all I was a kid in the seventies when groovin' was groovy.

This week I made an L, M, N.

Why those letters?  Because they are easy to make (general directions HERE) and are common letters for last names.

The L is made from reclaimed oak and is about 2 1/2 feet tall.  I painted it in blues in greens because if it doesn't sell, it may be mine :).

The M is smaller and I kept it white and chippy because I knew the original dark wood stain on the trim I used would look great peeking out from white paint.

The N is in red and is from a chunkier wood.

I may eventually work through, build the whole alphabet, but for now I am happy with my middle letters--L, M, and N.
