I am still a big fan of doing things by hand, the motorcycle club plaque was textured in about 10 minutes with a die grinder, the bit I used was a large flame bit. A cone shaped carbide would work well in your application.
The coat of arms was textured with a dremel with a small carbide oval the picture really does not bring it out much.
Been doing cnc for 11 years and have found the human computer can do it faster on one off items.
Brian, very effective. Nice plaque
did you just apply a clear coat to finish?

They all got paint, I sealed with catalyzed lacquer first, since all these pieces are for indoors used rattle can for the black and hand brushed acrylic paint for the rest.
Mica gold in clear acrylic for the lettering, and gold effect on the coat of arms.
I am not a pro sign maker I do primarily furniture with the bot but I am always up for a challenge.

Saved this as a crv from aspire. I hope it is compatible for your version of vcarve.

Joe I tried your file an ASPIRE and nothing came up
Brian.
Brian,
You won't find anything because when you save in .crv format from Aspire it only saves vectors and toolpaths that VCP recognizes. This is a 3D component and it is not saved.
Aspire provides a warning about this when you go to save in the .crv format.

Thanks Joe

The OP has VCarve so I saved as a vcarve rather than aspire crv3d. I actually didn't even save the project locally.
OK true believers [Stan Lee moment] here is an additional file with a 2 new projects in it. Aspire and vcarve. [Fanfare]
