Ravothof is a Nature Playground in the east of the Netherlands, that Stouthout asked me to help at. I helped constructing and designed the lettering of the entry gate.

After some lettering design on paper, the letters are milled out up to 10 mm depth and sanded with the angle grinder.

Colour is sprayed on the carved out lettering, and sanded off the flat surface of the wood again, to give a long-lasting colourful entry gate.
