When I need a ptn for a set of coasters I get 2 types, 1 is the ptn and the second is a vector file.
I take the ptn and trace the lines I thinks will give me a good picture. That way I can set the depth I want
for the 1/4" coasters. I use a 1/16", 1/32" depth. I then paint the lines to match the colors I need.T
he Phillies baseball coasters was traced for a file picture I imported in to trace.
The Eagle was trace right off the ptn, since the vector file was too busy for a 60 deg. V bit. I had to remove some of the lines
myself.
You really can't use a carved ptn on a coaster, it could leave a unsmooth surface and you don't know what they are going to place
on the coaster.

I hope this helps

Perry;
You could use a font and carve them with centerline, that would be a vector carving.
