Thanks. I used a MLCS 90 degree V-groove bit 1" diameter for the lettering as well as the initial ellipse. The ellipse is then cut all the way through with a 1/4" whiteside upcut spiral bit.
The wood was stained with Ronseal Teak quick drying wood stain prior to cutting.
The demo (
www.vectric.com) is super easy to use and produces quality results. The only limitation is that you are restricted to the various sample files that come with the demo.
Everyone that I have shown the sign to love it but the all expect
"Closed" to be on the other side. When I get the full version of the software I will get that from the vectorart website. (
