This was a pretty easy and fun little project to add a little decor to my off grid cabin. I used a 3/4", 1/2", and 1/4" fluted bit by CMT to make this project and they were outstanding. The sign is made out of purple heart and of course I had to add a little texture with my carving knives. Thanks for following the journey!

Would be cool to laminate light and dark woods together and when you route down, the letters would contrast with the backdrop. Might have to try that actually.

Fantastic work! I kind of wish you'd painted the lettering white, or even gold - but that grain/finish is gorgeous!!

The human CNC 👏 I didn’t even know that level of detail was possible to do manually. Nicely done!

What a beautiful piece, I do secretly like the letters in white they seem to stand out a little more.

Nice job. That router looks like my old Skil one

You have a beautiful hand (penmanship)! An artist AND master craftsman)!

Great advice on using the larger bit first for more control and then moving to smaller bits. I’ve tried the smallest one first with little to no success. Thanks!

Everyone new is saying CNC until the scallops at the end😎 looks great 👍

Really lovely. You've been using a lot of purple heart this year. A gorgeous color!

For some reason the Purple Heart reminds me of Scott Brown Carpentry’s pink pine😆

Love the sign. Know what it would go well with? A cabin with SIDING!

[jackknows]

Perfect message both in meaning and artistry..

I would have liked to see gold paint on the raised letters. just an idea!

I love this project! You gave me a couple ideas for finishing the kids for an urn that I’ve been putting off for almost four years.

INSPIRING!!! There are so many ways to do this, but this fits your cabin and personality. Great Job Samurai... :o)

Loving the content. One idea I’ve toyed with is temporarily adhering stencil letters and using a pattern bit.

My father always used to say if you put something back where you had it from you will always know where to find it, as 10 seconds putting it away is better than 10 minutes looking for it!
