Made a sign to put under our porch out in front of the house... I don't have it painted yet but I'm putting up a couple pictures of it straight out of the machine. This is no sanding as well.
I did up the design in CorelDraw. Freehand drew the shape to look like an old jagged board. I then grabbed a .jpg of some woodgrain and put it on the board to give it the rough woodgrain effect. I need to work on the graphic a little... was real happy with some of the depths on it, but I think it'll look good when painted.
Put a slight bevel on the Jantz, made the other text so it would be thicker at the bottom and slightly rounded, which virtually takes the chipping problem of thinner letters away, set it up to cut out the shape...
Stood back and watched the sawdust fly...
I'll post another picture of it after I get it painted.
