Working on some signs for a local park...
A nice little local commission to make some new signs for one of the surprisingly well maintained parks which dot Swindon. Three more 'fingerboard' signs to cast, and a couple of large plaques to go!
(Apologies that the image is sideways on - the image in my photo editor appears in landscape format, but alas, Blogger doesn't seem to give me any option to rotate the image!)
