    Default Wood Badge Sign for the Scouts

    This is my latest project from the weekend. Troop 16 asked if I would be able to make a sign from an wood badge image designed from one of the scout masters? I said sure, send it over. I was able to place it in my Aspire 2.5 and out popped this sign. This is in 3/4" pink EPS with a 1/2" MDF backer for rigidity and a surface to hang the sign from. It will be hung in the dining hall at Camp Preston Hunt in Texarkana, Arkansas. We have an artist in the troop who paints photo realistic scouting scenes for special events. She will be painting all of the pieces of the sign and gluing it together prior to presentation. I had asked for the photos of the final piece and I will then post them.

    Sharp looking sign!

    Could you let us know what bit you used, speeds and feeds?
    Did you cut full depth in one shot or step down?

    The few times I used the pink foam, my bits wanted to pull out chunks
    and I found it difficult to get a clean edge.

    Awesome sign. When you are talking about "pink foam" are you referring to the foam you purchase at Home Depot for insulating walls?
