I just finished making my house in Belize and took a picture of it. I want to carve it on a big sign (36" x 25" or so) and put some small stuff on it. Like the name of the house and the address.

Can anyone help me get the picture correct so it can be carved please
Thank-you in advance

Its a good start, but does it not have to be blurred? Not sure how that is done.

I do have it blurred its done in the pattern editor I was told it only needs to be blurred no more than 3 on the scale.

I would use the same technique as carving a portrait : .080 depth 100 height then stain a dark color like walnut or mahogany sand lightly until image appears. Also make sure to use a tight grain light color wood such as maple or clear poplar this will keep your image clear and crisp without a lot of grain showing through.
