The story behind this signage was that my father-in-law was using a flimsy yard sign, with green dry erase marker that had been beaten by the sun, to help reserve a space on the beach. I thought that it would be an excellent gift to create a custom sign for he and his wife to clearly claim a spot during the busy season.

This was my first attempt at creating a wood sign. I bought some wood, cut it to size, threw on a base coat, created the artwork, adjusted and refined, attached the two pieces together, and the sign was ready to mark off some space to relax.
