That looks great. How did you finish it? What kind of paint did you use in the carved part?

I just used black spray paint for the carved bit. I stained it with a light oak stain. I’m thinking of going with a darker stain. When I carved it I first covered the board with contact paper so when it cuts it makes it way easy to spray. I learned about it either here or on youtube.

Sorry I should have said before. I used estlcam carve at 5mm depth and 20mm carve width. I tried it with automatic but it didn’t seem deep enough, likely because the board wasn’t very flat. Sd card in the LCD to control my dual end stop mpcnc. The text was 90 degree v bit 1/2" diameter and the tree was a 45 v bit 1/4" diameter.
The 90:

I can’t seem to find the 45 it says unavailable on my ebay.

is the font suppose to be jagged like that?
Yea I used a font called Caribbean I think. I modified the C to widen it a little and also removed some of the jagged edges. I liked that it looked more rustic.
