How to Make a Wooden Sign with a Router
- 1). Select a shape, size and type of wood upon which to create your sign. Your sign can be of a dark or light-colored wood, square or round and large or small.
- 2). Draw the design for your sign on a sheet of paper, and then place a sheet of tracing paper atop the wood. Place the design atop the tracing paper, and trace the design onto the wood using a pen.
- 3). Assemble a bit onto the router. A plunge bit works nicely for creating letters. Turn the router on and begin tracing over your design slowly and steadily to burn the design into the wood and to prevent any mistakes.
