OK the NPO I work for wants me to build a sign like this....
... or at least something similar.
I know I cannot fit that whole thing into my iCarver, the bed is 15" x 20" but I could make three 15x20 pieces to make up the whole sign.
Now what is the best thing to make this kind sign?
A V-carve bit?
What software?
I have ArtCam.
I figure that you paint the whole board first, let it dry and then put some sort of painters tape over the surface, carve through that, then paint the carved surface with the second color, does that sound right?
I figure that I would use a sanding sealer first to seal the carved wood then paint it the second color to stop any bleed.
Oh yeah I have to have this done by the 2nd of June....
Ideas....?
Suggestions...?
HELP!!
