Testimonial:

“The beautiful sign was presented to the Jacobson’s at a grandson’s graduation party on Sunday and was well received by the family and others.  The sign is up [and] they are very proud of it.  The board edging is from their barn that was over 100 years old.  The siding was tongue and groove and the sign fit nicely in the groove.  Tom had me run out to the farm in a light rain to see it - he couldn’t wait for a sunny day!”    -Robert L.
