 Re: Carving Signs IMO the harder woods such as cherry and walnut work best for incised lettering like i do. I usually use pieces of cherry and i think it holds the deep incised lettering and detail much better than some of your softer woods..but i use a v tool to do my lettering so it may be different for using gouges..

| Re: Carving Signs Has anyone tried Cypress for signage carving? It is good for the weathering, but I dont know about the carving part.
