67026I am carving this sign to give to a group of veterans in a local assisted care facility...they provided a beautiful piece of black walnut that is 8 inches wide and ten feet long. I've put this design together that I want to gold leaf the letters and the star and then just varnish the rest of the sign. I put in a carve region and then raised the letters and the stars inside the carve region. Then I wanted to put a "border" around the carve region (the first rectangle on the cut list) but only carve this border line about a .1 inch deep just deep enough to put in a gold leaf line that would split the difference between the carve out region and the edge of the board. I can't seem to find a way ...I tried a cut path and put in .1 depth but it wants to cut thru the board. I am doing this with mpc 1.187 as the new 2.0 seems to grind to a halt when I tried it due to the length of the board. Any help would be appreciated.
