Carve the lettering or add numbers in another material

A street name needs more room than a house number alone. These builds show how makers fit both into a plaque, add contrasting numbers or use a separate emblem. Each shared file covers the carved parts described below; paint, epoxy, framing and mounting are separate shop steps.

Finished walnut address marker with raised white acrylic 6920 numbers mounted beside a door Address Markerby Tait Leswing

Address Marker

White acrylic numbers stand out from a walnut board. Tait Leswing supplies two matching workpieces: shallow inside outlines for positioning on the wood and outside cuts for the acrylic numbers. Prepare the rectangular backing separately, keep the number sizes matched, then glue and mount the pieces as his illustrated instructions show.

Keep paint in the lettering and align raised numbers

Sand away paint from the face

Ciaran Hynes paints the cut lettering with black acrylic without masking, then sands the flat face to remove the overpaint before varnishing. Try that sequence on an offcut first so you can check the contrast and keep the face flat.

Match the two number layouts before gluing

Tait Leswing uses inside outlines on the walnut and outside outlines for the acrylic. Keep the numbers the same size in both workpieces, dry-fit the acrylic over the wood marks, then apply a light bead of glue inside each number. His instructions use the shallow marks to hide the layout and catch excess glue.
