>I've carved off and on for about 8-10 years.  Lately, mostly off.  When I 

>go back in, I go back in real big.  I've been working on a carving based on 

>one of Bill's carvings: Come Unto Me.  I wanted to put the entire verse 

>around the carving, but I may have chewed off more than I can finish.  

>Also, I had a signmaker print out the words, and there are a few problems:

>

>1)  Missing the word 'the' before the word 'kingdom'.

>2)  The letters seem too thin for raised lettering.

>3)  The reference verse is upside down.

>

>Most of these are easily fixed but what do I do about the thin lettering?  

>One option is to crowd the entire verse together with thicker lettering.  

>Another is to just use the first phrase and put it at the top, but that 

>would create a lot of blank space around the edge of the carving.  Another 

>is to use the lettering and make it incise.

>Any suggestions?  I've emailed Bill a few times already and I didn't want

>you want to email me directly, my email address is dnsbentley at msn.com.

>welcome to enjoy.
