This was a wooden sign board made for the new tennis court, in honor of one of our previous faculty.
The base is a slab of teak wood, cut out at a bevel with a jigsaw.
The base is finished with terminator anti insect liquid, followed by Asian Paints PU exterior sealant, two coats, and two coats of Asian Paints PU exterior Matte varnish.
The letters are made from 12 mm finger jointed rubber, as that was the only lighter colored wood I had access to.
The letters are stuck on with marine grade fevicol, and also secured with stainless steel nails.
For the supports, I used 1.5x2 inch thick babool reapers, and fixed them with stainless steel screws. They are finished in the same way.
There is a cross bar at the bottom too, that is covered in cement.
The whole assembly was fixed into the ground with concrete with the help of a mason.
I hope it will last through the weather.
