Piggy, Pork BBQ Sign Diy

About a year ago, my sister gave me this beautiful antique yoke with the challenge of ...what can you make out of this.
A year later, it still sat in my laundry room, waiting for the ultimate aha moment. I did think it would make a great light fixture with lights on both ends but I have never found 2 matching shades. (at least at a price I want to spend)
So now, a year later, I brought it out with the goal that I wouldn't put it away until I figured out what to do with it.


With the addition of fence wood, I thought it could make a great sign holder.
With more research into vintage signs, I finally decided my sign should be a BBQ pig sign.


Found a great graphic over at Fynes Designs. Blew the pig picture up to the size of my sign. Printed, cut, taped and placed it over top of pallet wood to transfer the pig shape.


You can skip that step, if you can draw a pig shape freehand.
The pig was painted piggy pink.
In Publisher, I made my delicious and BBQ lettering then transferred the outline to my pig. The lettering was hand painted, sort of like paint-by-number.
When he was complete, he was given a final sanding and waxing.
Hope you get a chance to stop by. Can you tell what was used to attach the sign to the yoke?
