My niece's stepdaughter asked if I would scroll her name. I was able to create a pattern using MS Publisher with Brush Script font. The size was going to be 20 inches and I thought I'd have to use spiral blades because my saw only has a 16 inch throat. I was able to complete the cut only using regular blades. The project came out so well that my niece wanted one for her. I decided to do one for her and her husband in a matching set. If anyone wants to know how I created the letters using MS Publisher, let me know.

They came out real nice.

What is the background of the first one.  I looks cool.

Also, how thick is the wood?

Thanks.

Don,

The background is just sanded pine painted flat black. The grain makes it look like streaks. I cut the letters from a 1x6 pine board and ripped lengths for the outer frame. I left the pattern on the letters and painted the sides flat black also so the face of the letters would stand out.

I like your idea about getting the sides painted.  Black looks good. Maybe in some cases different color might make it pop more.

You effort shows nice smooth curves.  Good job.
