Thanks rMock that is a great tip as well. Maybe i'll use poplar for the test carve and switch to mahogony for the final.

It takes less time to do a thing right than it does to explain why you did it wrong.

Great idea on the masking board. I have not tried using one but have considered it. I am going to set the logo 3 or 4 times on a test board all with different cutting depths so I can see what looks the best.

I like cheery and white oak and walnut to carve signs .
the harder the wood with closed gran work best . Red Oak is one I try to stay away from but is one every one wants.

I just did a couple of things with tight text. I found the 1/32 bit just on best worked well on pine and didn't take much longer the n the 1/16 would have. I was surprised how robust the pointy bit was. If you get some good quality pine or maybe poplar and carve at best, I think it will work well. Buff it with a 220 mop.
