Free standing Wooden Letters

[V2Steve]

For my daughters wedding next year we are looking for someone who can make some free standing wooden letters, They need to be about 6 inches high and about an inch thick so they can stand on there own, They need to spell out Mr & MRS BEAN in something like Pine. With posibly a glossy varnish.

Can anyone help here with a quote... ??

Blimey £5 a letter it might be cheaper for me to by a second hand scroll saw and make my own lol.

I have made signs and names like you mention in different fonts. The problem that I can see with your request is using pine that is no less than an inch thick. £5 a letter for pine I don't think is unreasonable to be honest.

To keep cost down would you not consider MDF. I have made names out of MDF and they give a nice smooth finish.

They would be quite easy to do. The only thing I can see, is that, even at one inch thick, if the table they were on got a knock (very likely at a wedding), they would easily fall over.
It may be better to think about having them provided with a small stand for them to sit upright on. If you did that you could also get away with the wood being a little bit thinner, which would make it easier to cut the shapes.
