I cut my backer large....most of the time just square...glue it on and use a round over router bit to trim it off. If you use 1/8" backer and a 1/4" round over bit you can't even hardly see it. I usually use the same round over bit on the front. dave

We spend the summer months in Bloomington/Normal and Winter in Texas. I could not resist designing and making this plaque for our Texas home. It is 12" in diameter and 5/8" thick red oak with a walnut inlay stained Special Walnut.
