I would like to have a sign for my stepdad made, I thought it would be nice to have someone do it, and I would pay them...

An idea of what you need might help.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

my stepdad loved to garden, so after he passed,mum and i made a plot. We put in an old metal beer keg, has his favorite outdoor chair, and planted his fave flowers there. I wanted to have a sign made that said Deane's garden.

Many fairs and festivals have wood burners who'll make you about anything you want.

That's true.  Another thought. Some even have router tables to cut the words into a plank.

If it will be outside I would go with the routed sign rather than burned.
