Surfs Up board
A hand crafted Cornish driftwood sign with the caption "Surf's Up!" in the shape of a surf board. The sign has been pyrographed at a high temperature to burn the hand drawn lettering on to the driftwwod. The phrase "Surf's Up!" is a slang term popular with surfers meaning the waves are ideal for surfing. For instance; "Hey man, grab your board! Surf's up!"
I draw all my lettering by hand first using a 2B pencil to create unique flourishes and when I am happy with the design, it is then tidied and then re-traced and vectorised in Adobe Illustrator. The driftwood sign comes complete with brass eyelets and a white macramé rope tied at both ends a half hitch knot so the sign can be hung from anywhere! The driftwood featured in this product was found on the beach near at Poldhu Cove on The Lizard Peninsula near Mullion Cove in South West Cornwall, amongst seaweed washed up on the shoreline. The wood itself has been bleached in a large bleachibg tank for two days. It is then rinsed and left to dry naturally before being slightly sanded to avoid injury from splinters or rough edges. Two coats of exterior varnish are then applied should the sign so the sign can be hung or displayed outdoors if required.
