Textured sign with Pine

It may be a little extra effort to use pine, but the profit margin is there considering how cheap these panels are from big-box stores. 24x16 inches. Pine board from Menards. Black surface, recessed field, textured with 1/4 ballnose end mill. Polycrylic finish.

A detailed build video is posted on our youtube channel. I'd love it if you checked it out. We publish new content all the time, so subscribe too!

Looks nice. I believe there is a MUCH more efficient way to do the textured toolpath where the tool doesn't pickup after everytime that it makes a cut. I think ShopBot made a video on that once. Might want to check the archived ShopBot youtube videos. May save you a ton of time.
