I created these images from planks of various peices of lumber for a project
I was asked to undertake. Norfolk County Wood Shop asked me if I would create
a website for their business that deals in Live Edge lumber products. Initial
WEBSITE with not much matrial. Needless to
say I jumped at the opportunity to exercise the creative spirit while doing some good
for someone else. I thought it would be nice to have wood plank lettering and
after creating the Welcome and NCWOOSHOP.CA lettering
I figured I might as well go whole hog and do the whole
Alphanumeric Set along with some commonly used punctuation
(the web page you are looking at) along with a few
useful characters. Below is the end result along with some testing. The Masthead Image
below was a huge success with the client.
Also created some sample pages to demonstrate some ideas that may be use no their
actual site
SAMPLE ONLY PAGES. Note that I included images in the slide show that are
Live Edge products belonging to the client and will be part of the official website.

Left Right Single Qutes – Period – Comma – Left Right Double Quotes – Colon – Apostrophe – Semicolon – 3 Dots
2 Left and 1 Right Single and double quotes Quotes as 6's reverse 6's NOT 6's and 9's
as above
Anything smaller than 40 seems too small See J for size
The above equation can't be created using superscript since superscript raises the character a very small amount, but as you can see it can be fudged to make it look appropriate with clever manipulation. Numbers are 150px high but the 2 (squared) is only 80px and had to be manipulated for both left and top margin followed by manipulating the balance of the line for left and top margins as well. Not a pretty solution but it works if it is required. Of course this is simply an exercise and I never expect to have to actually use it.
List definition. Use any of the above bullets for variety.
<ul style="list-style-image:url(images/SqBull.png); line-height: 1.8em; margin-left:40px;">
⌚ = ⌚ ⏰ = ⏰ ⅓ = ⅓ ℞ = ℞
The problem with being too fussy is that you always think you can do better. I was unhappy, or at least less than thrilled with some of the characters or just the combination of wood used to create the letters, so I proceeded to update some of the creations. Not that the new product is better than the original but I am more please with the final result, especially the S, which took a lot of peices to create. There may be some who prefer the original creations but I like the new ones better. Originally I created a few characters and after creating the whole alphanumeric set, I realised that punctuation, aside from the original period, needed brackets, comma, colon, semicolon, apostrophe etc. etc. Added commonly used symbols = + # @ * already had / and - for math and other functions. I added square brackets [ ] along with left and right Arrows plus a narrow Bar, as well the ellipsis … … three dots as a single element, unicode … also … can come in handy instead of 3 seperate characters. I expect to possibly use as seperators. Since braces { } are rarely used (I don't expect to need them) so I passed. There are some rarely used characters I don't intend to create but MAY create accented characters for the Hungarian alphabet. …
