Sandblasted Wood, Glass & Stone Signs

Posted on May 7, 2015 by Eric Robert Posted in Blog Content, Glass Art Spotlight, Sandcarving Examples 13 Comments
Sandblasted glass led sign with a wood stand and etched wolf.

The wolf in this glass was sandblasted in two depths with a led wood sign to light it up!

Ross Wease sent in these sandblasted projects through the submission form which consists of glass signs, a stone and a wood sign! Technically, I call the stone a sign as well since it displays an establishment. This is a great post because I have been wanting to discuss sandblasting wood signs, so I hope this gives you an idea.

At least three of his projects shown required the sandcarving process.

Remember to click the photos to see an enlarged version! He shared the below:

A few sandblasted projects.
I mainly blast signs in wood, stone and glass. Lately, I have been doing more art work with multiply layers in glass. Having an LED light at night makes them look even better. Polishing the edges of the glass will help reflect the light back into the glass and brighten the project overall. Sandblasting in wood is always interesting as each board varies with the grain — no two are alike. Stone also can bring a surprise in color and texture.

    Nice work Ross, would like to know more about your carving techniques you used to carve on wood. Like syphon/pressure pot? rotary bit/hand chisel? Grit sizes/psi? Been getting things around to also carve wood projects. Any info that could help me thru the trial and error process would be appreciated.

    Great work. Maybe one day someone (Eric?) will take pictures of a project as they do the various stages of multi-layered work. I collected my first pieces of stone near a fast moving water near where i live. They are indeed flat, river rocks. My next projects. What a blast!

    @ Doug, there is a quick tutorial which pictures of each step on the blog, but it is somewhat simple.

    What grit should I use as a beginner? And where do I purchase it.
    Thanks!

    @Dinah,
    That really depends on what you are blasting, but 120 to 150 is a decent grit size for alot of items. I suggest checking out the yellow pages for a place if you are in a larger city.

    Thanks!

    I was unaware of sandblasting until recently. I had no idea that it could be utilized for a variety of objects and help in the creation of artwork. The pictures displaying these sandblasted works are beautiful! I would love to see more and learn of this.

    Wow, I really like the look of these sandblasted windows! This would actually be perfect for our company– we just got a new office building, and we are trying to find good ways to decorate the front entryway. A nice sandblasted logo in the entry room would be a great piece of decor. And if it was on wood like in the first picture, it would be absolutely perfect!

    I got a sandblaster and having been using vinyl mask. I am noticing some “star dust” coming through on my glass. What kind of stencil/masking medium should I get? Any suggestions on brand?
    Thanks!
