Lettering in chip carving

[bryandi]

I was admiring CarverRog's wedding plate and I was wondering if there was one good resource for lettering? Any suggestions for books?
Any tips or hints would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Chip Carvers Workbook has a decent selection of lettering in it.

Bryan,
Since you are using a computer to address this message board, try looking at the various texts that are available with your word processor. You can also download texts if you are not happy with your assortment.
Great part is you can arrange, size and print the text ready for copying to your wood.

Hello Bryon, I get 99% of my fonts from my computer or the internet.

I'll print out what I want then enlarge it to the size I need. I then lay tracing paper over the lettering and outline the letters. By using tracing paper it lets me see thru to the piece so I can position it to exactly where I need it. Good Luck!

I appreciate your tips and thanks for the response.
