Cut with a machine. Finished by hand.

Design limitations, honestly

• Very fine detail has a floor. Below a certain size the bit cannot reach into the detail. Paul will suggest a larger panel or a simplified design instead of cutting something that will look muddy.
• Grain matters. Open-grained woods blur small lettering. Tight-grained hardwoods hold it.
• Artwork quality matters. A crisp vector or a high resolution image carves well; a small screenshot does not.
• Trademarks and copyrighted logos. Paul does not reproduce logos or artwork you do not own or have written permission to use. Bring the permission and he will cut it.
