    Draw the letters in the wood first so you have some lines to follow, or print out the letters and use carbon copy paper one the wood. Slow and steady is the key. Any pics of your setup you have??

    The piece of timber is 40cm x 17cm, the writing is just over 2cm high and I used a 3mm router cutter. The logo is 15cm x 9cm. The problem I found with the dremel is it would jump a bit, that's why I was thinking about getting the plunge attachment for it.

    Good for you , I've come to the conclusion that if they don't like the price then tough, I'm not going to give it away. People don't realise what work goes into somethings. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

    Pyrography i wouldn't waste my time with it as the cheap ones are crap IMO, the router link above is the one I've got which works very well but i could do with something smaller. I also have a dremel which I'm thinking about getting a plunge attachment for it. DREMEL Multi Power Tool Accessories Attachment 335 Plunge Router 26150335JA UK | eBay Or maybe a small palm router, the writing in my pic was done free hand with a router, the fern was done free hand with a dremel with a flexi shaft.

    I personally love sweet chestnut, like Alec said once cleft it releases all stresses. I've heard of sweet chestnut lasting easily 25 years unseasoned as fencing so it wouldn't make much difference i would say.

    Pic would be nice
