I was trying to make something that resembeled a slice of a log and then carve some recessed text on the 'flat' area on top. I've attached the file as I've got it so far. There are domed areas on the top and bottom which are simple trapizoids now but that could have some curves and such added to make it look more natural. A wood grain texture was added to make these areas resmeble bark ( I need to find something that would look more like bark ). No matter what I have tried I can't seem to make the text recessed.
