Got the inspiration for the attached from Ken......
I really like the "Black Chancery" font in these deskplates. This is the third one I've done for new engineers, and an MD.
They love them.
BTW, the wood was painted first, and then carved. Small (THIN, THIN) shim placed in the machine when the bit's touching down so as to ensure the machine stays above the surface of the wood when carving.
