[QUOTE="blackteaonesugar, post: 1575717, member: 34660"] The only thing with those template things is....the text looks dreadful! 😂 Like awful early computer word processor font from the eighties! I've done a few signs where I've printed out my lettering in whatever text and glued it to the wood. Freehand routed away a decent area around and close to the letter edging, then crisp up the letters with a chisel. I used a gouge in the areas I had routed away to make it look more hand carved.
