A try at Letters

Looks great.  You mentioned Squareness".  When I cut out a word(s), I am careful about the waste wood.  Leave a few reference lines.  When gluing the letters to backer, I put down craft sticks, set the waste on top, glue the bottom of each letter & drop it into place.  Let the glue dry & lift off the waste.

The reason the waste is propped up is to prevent the squeeze out from gluing down the waste.

Well I thought I would try doing letters. I used this pattern from Steve Good's site. It is done with 1/4" birch and the backing was made from old pieces of pallets I had laying around. The backer was stained with one quick coat and wiped off immediately to give the appearance of weathered wood. I finished it with spray gloss lacquer, not sure it shows in the picture or not. I noticed after I placed the letters that I was off on my squareness but oh well I think it still turned out pretty good.
