Sign writing, like plastering, is one of those activities which is generally best left to the experts.
I know my limitations and I can't sign write to the standard needed to make the most of The Jam Butty so I called on the services of Jim McCormack (http://www.mwsignwriters.co.uk/). Jim applied the lettering to Wand'ring Bark seven years ago and I have always been delighted with the work he produces so I had no hesitation about using him again.
Jim worked like a Trojan for over six hours today and this was the end result:

ReplyDeleteHe's done a great job although he looks very uncomfortable while doing it
ReplyDeleteYou have 'a result!' as they say.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'd say that the gorgeous newlettering is the 'icing' on a very special cake!
You've got yourself a stunning little boat there Captain!
It looks a treat and the colours are just right. The cratch is particularly successful to my eye, really capturing the essence of old commercial signwriting. A grand job all round!
best wishes
Nick
I agree with Nick
ReplyDeleteThe retro style really does the boat justice. Good choice.
Looks great, Andy. Is that a skateboard he's sitting on?
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the positive feedback. Halfie - yes it is a skateboard which helps him bottom shuffle!
