[EarthDragon]

For you school owners out there or generous students looking to give thier teacher something very special, you must check out eric hardgrove's hand carved sign boards.

The workmanship is awesome the love and passion he puts into his work eminates throught the whole sign, here is a pic of one he did for out school. he can be found on the forum by the way
Brings you back to the olden days of the tea houses and outdoor kwoon's in china check it out.....

[bawang]

looks fake and gay

cardboard cutout

[SPJ]

the writing style a bit too thick/fat for me

I learned or modeled after Yan Zheng Qing. his writing was fat/thick, too but not this thick.

my brother likes thinning writing almost bone like or bamboo stick like

well

each to his or her own.

:)

[bawang]

he printed out chinese characters from the internet, put it on a cheap plywood then cut it out with a boxcutter.

[SPJ]

oops

I thought it was his writing.

:D

[bawang]

take a closer look at the edge of the characters. all rough and cut up

looks like a dam arts and crafts project from kindergarden

[Minghequan]

Can I please ask how much you paid for that sign?

[EarthDragon]

bawang, why must you be so disprectful? that sign is beautiful, it was hand carved from 1 solid piece of wood and took almost 2 months to do. And our school and my students really appreciate it. You shoudl learn to be a bit nicer when it comes to others feelings/


spj,
you can select what ever type of caligraphy you wish, I perferred the brush stroke sample. But he carvres it all by hand so any wrtiing can be doneMing,
the prices vary on color, style size and hours of workmanship so they range from 200- 500 depending on all the variables

here is another pic so you can see how big it is haging compared to the wall

[David Jamieson]

bawang is just being a jerk.
It's his role here.

He's a troll. And he's our troll.
At least, he's the only relevant troll.

Occasionally barfs up a gem. lol

having said that, hand carved from a single piece?
That is great work! He did really well on that one.

[bawang]

im being 100% serious. that hargrove guy spamming internet selling "pie bins" extremely annoying

he couldnt even pronouce your style, he called it bat bo tong long. why the hell did you pay him money for that garbage?

Are you saying you can't read that sign for what it is?
and what's wrong with crappy romanization? People do it all the time.

we know what that garble phonetic is: "8 step preying mantis"

He does good work. Pretty good quality and the ideograms are correct.

You're just jelly because he does well at it and you have to beg for cheeto money.

[Cdr.Instigator]

Earth Dragon, you should by now know how "bawang" talks to everyone around here. Almost everything that comes out of his mouth is Negative... pay no attention to his insults.

I know nothing about Chinese language characters. But, I got to tell you.... it looks very nice! I would have done it myself using a small table band saw ad sand paper and save the money to buy some more training weapons or the like..

Thanks for sharing..

[bawang]

why cant you guys be more like david ross? he doesnt put cardboard posters and old magazine cutouts on his wall, he put gold medals.

Eric is actually a GOOD FRIEND of mine, and he made a board for me for my new school. He's a dedicated Ying Jow Pai person, a great human being and honestly in this case your trolling is NOT FUNNY

[SPJ]

on the side note

1. 4 characters are the norm in chinese signboard

at the time of carving text on bamboo stick

4 characters are the norm

so ba bu tang lang is enough

quan actually limiting to fist methods

there are also many weapon methods

2 the placement of sign board is usually at the top of the gate/door or highest point in the building close to roof/ceiling

--

cool.

:)

[SPJ]

in the old time, sign board is very serious matter

it is called flatboard on the forehead or bian er.

usually we beg or plead and pay for the great or good paint brush writer in town or of our time, such as yu you ren to write for us

we then select a good piece of wood

we then hire a professional carpenter to carve and paint

there are timing to do all the work

timing to place the board

positioning of the board on the forehead of the gate or hall

--

they are all serious matters

but

nah, nowadays just another sign or logo

---

[瓜娃子]

Anything Eric can get I will make for half price.

My cousin has a sign making store. He said he can make better signs at half price. He can cut out the sign or he has a machine that burns the image on wood.

Everything he does looks much better than this. America is a strong country with ugly signs.

Anyway half price, plus I can get it shipped from China to you in 10 days.

Eric Hargrove...go get a new job, you are taking jobs from Chinese.

[Snipsky]

Eric Hargrove...go get a new job, you are taking jobs from Chinese.

can you make a video for us to prove you are really chinese? And, if you can't do it in the ring, its just your fantasy.

Ross defends those who do bad Chinese art and charge too much for it because he's like that too.

I read Huck Finn...the rednecks thought it was Shakespear, but actually is all made up.

Ross is like that. Everyone gets suckered until real teachers from China come..then he will get a job at a massage house and have to wear a fake yellow hair to get more customers.

Why would I go to NY?

Only low lives live there and immigrants who don't know no better.

NY people are low class. After 9/11 most people are sad for America, but don't care about New York.

NY is nothing like the rest of the USA. Everybody hates NY...that is true. People there are selfish like Donald Trump and only eat greasy pizza. Losers live there.

You are a loser. I have told you my real name. It is Watson. You are Ross. No one knows me..thats okay...but everyone knows you and no one respects you because you are low class and your kung fu is bad.

I don't live in NY.

I used to live in Boston and took the bus in Chinatown to NY. NY is just okay. It has opera and some expensive restaurants. Basically you pay a lot and get a little. Then people are proud to live in NY, but it is really garbage.

The people are very low class. Even the ones with lots of money do nothing to care for others. NY is a place where selfish people who think they are important gather to make the world worse.

I was happy on 9/11...because it happened in NY. To people like you. Selfish and not real people.

Actually, you could hear the cheers in China and around the world after 9/11. No one loves America when America is not looking. That is why Pakistan hid Bin Laden.

People die everyday around the world. Now hillbillies care about low life money stealers in NY.

If 9/11 happened in Kansas, I would cry...in Montana, California. .that would be a tragedy.

9/11 is when the NY bully got punched in the nose. Oh..no..the most selfish people on the planet with no heart got hurt.......good..that is karma.

This is my political opinion. I have not broken the agreed upon forum rules.

You may be a republican...your opinions kill more people than mine.

[TenTigers]

yep..worse case of pizza envy I've ever seen.

[YouKnowWho]

after 9/11.
After 9/11, my wife and I went to China, we brought back 8 daggers (the handler looks like a pagoda and it cost about 2 US dollars each) in our suitcase. When the Chinese police checked our bags before we took off, they took all the daggers out and tested the blade. One Chinese police reported to his boss, "They carry 8 daggers in their luggage". His boss asked, "where are they going?" The Chinese police said, "US". His boss then said, "Let them go, why should we care?"

[瓜娃子]

I believe that. Actually anything going out of China...China really don't care.

Yes, in very small quantities.

Oh yes, in one post he said that the signs range from 200-500 depending on the variables of what the sign consists of. I think that is a fair price.

a glimpse at the process

[EarthDragon]

minghequan,
as I stated there are many variables that change the pricing, for example, if you have it made from one solid piece, border size and style, number of characters, type of paint ie gold leaf vs flat black etc etc.

I suggest you PM ngokfei and he can give you a exact price for what you woudl like done. the workmanship is incrediable
