thanks for the comments.
material is 20# precision board, 2" thick, 2 pieces for total of 4 inches.
font is raptor from here: http://artandsignstudio.com/fontmenu.html
I built the file in aspire as one piece - 2" thick, then applied the back 2 inches.
rust on the band is paint only.
is this stuff fun or what?
with a new shop and a 8x28 wall to fill up, samples signs will be cut all winter.

Very Good . is it cut with 1 bit or are different parts cut with different bits? I would not even know where to start
rough cut was done with a .50 end mill.
finish cut was a .25 ball nose.
the bottom text was the gone over again with a 1/8 ballnose.
finally, it was cut out of the blank with a 1/4 end mill.
i think the total time was about 11 hours, plus or minus an hour.
design time was about 2 hours.
paint time was around 20 hours.
