Yes, I have refined the process and I now know the largest pass for each ball cutter that still looks good. Also I have determined that the size of the part will dictate the use of the 1/16 cutter. My second crest run was larger and I stopped with the 1/8 tool but passed the 1/16 tool over only the artwork in the middle. In the second crest I used a dragon instead of a griffen. The complete time to make the second crest was 10 hours and it was 9" X 14" and a much deeper relief than before. It looks great!
