Beware the photos don't show the weathered grey finish.
Beware that the photos with this listing do not match the finish on the sign that you will get.<br /><br />The photos show a stained finish, but the &#34;weathered grey&#34; finish is actually new wood with a grey paint/wash finish applied. It is not a weathered finish like you would get if you actually let wood weather in the elements. (Or used the steel wool and vinegar technique to weather new wood)<br /><br />The gray color didn't really match the other colors in the sign I was making, so I ended up putting a light coat of paint over the whole surface and I will use coordinating colors for the lettering.<br /><br />The sign itself seems sturdy and well-made, and the rope for hanging the sign looks like it will work well also.
