| Volunteers Cathy Bailey, Wendy Everson and Seth Benowitz work on stenciling signs |
Well, the answer to this riddle is... more than 60 in two days.... if s/he has lots of help! Fifteen volunteers and four Forest Society staff members worked very hard during the first week of June to construct or refurbish an amazing number of wooden routed signs. These signs will be installed at more than a dozen Forest Society Reservations. Some are the large property signs on the "Y" post that welcome people to our properties, and some are smaller signs to be installed at trail junctions or trailheads to keep hikers from getting disoriented. The 14 step sign making process involves planing and sanding rough-cut pine boards, rasping edges, stenciling letters, routing the letters, sanding again, several coats of stain, several coats of varnish, and finally several coats of white letter paint. Oh...and then installation! Anyone want to hang some signs?
