This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Greywater and Willow Feeders.

For this Badge Bit you will create a wood-burned and oil-sealed sign for a willow feeder or dry outhouse.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
  - must be wood-burned
  - must use a nontoxic natural oil (e.g. linseed)

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must show proof of the following (as pictures or a video < 2 mins):
 - show sign before, during, and after being burned
 - show the oil being used on the sign
 - show sign during and after oiling
 - show the sign mounted in its permanent location

Note: I hereby certify this badge bit complete.

 
How do they get the deer to cross at the signs? Or to read this tiny ad?
