Vineyard Sign started 4/14/10 finished 5/11/11

Picture
If I go into business or not its always nice to have a sign for a farm, orchard, or in my case a vineyard. The sign is made out of plywood with a pine trim. I will post some more picture as I finish it.

Picture
The picture is a little dark but the sign is about 75% completed, the base is painted and the trim has three coats on.
Picture
Here is the sign about 99% done. I still need to get the letter S to spell vineyards.

I saw this tool in an old grape growing book and I figured why not....So I searched the internet and found one for under $30.00. This thing is a beast. It has like an axe handle and with one swing I can get down almost 4-5 inches. Works great for working up a narrow potato bed. Also is good for breaking up heavy soils.
