I've been asked to do a name plaque for a boat.
The issue is he is supplying the material which is .5 teak and he wants 4" tall letters.Even with a 90 deg vbit it cuts through the material.
I tried a 120 deg but it doesn't look right and half of the letters don't get machined.
He wants an 3/16 offset 1/8" deep around the letters to paint gold as an accent.
Any suggestions on what to do to make this look good.
The vcarved letters are not a must but it was what he liked best.
I want to do this right as his boat is moored at a very posh marina and it could be good for more work.
