On a trip to New Orleans I spotted a sign on a store front and became inspired. I took the picture because I wanted to create one for myself, so a picture would help me remember.
I drew the shape of the sign and cut it out. I also had some spare wood and made arrow edges. After cutting I slithered the wood and used a torch to burn the wood to give it feathered look. I stained the wood using the Varathane Weathered Wood accelerator. Afterwards, I used a rag and to finger paint the wood with sporadic brush strokes using the vanilla and gold paints. Then stenciled “Jazz Lounge” in black. 
Here’s my inspiration for the sign
These are the products used to create the sign. Also to weather proof i used polyurethane to coat it (optional)
