Summary:

"The ultimate DIY material might be plywood. It is cheap and easy to use for fabricating many things, including outdoor signs. Professionals use it as do untrained, amateur sign makers where the results often have a decidedly 'outsider art' quality. Unfortunately, plywood signs do not endure very well the punishment of the elements: rain, snow, sunlight and wind. But the weathering of plywood, combined with the outsider aesthetic of many signs, often creates wonderful results. The wavy, swirling patterns in aging plywood suggest, to my eye, the primeval chaos of the universe." Steve Fitch--Publisher's website.
