Pretty inexperienced wood worker here...
I would like to make some wooden alphabet blocks as a first project. Similar in idea to what you see on this site.
Although it doesn't quite show on the website. The borders and letters are 'raised' from the background of each block. I was wondering what tool you would use to create that 'raised' effect. Would you trace out the letter and border on a flat surface and then use something to carve out the waste (a router, dremel type tool, or just an old fashioned chisel). The border and letters are probably less that 1/16th" raised above the background.
Can anyone help with an answer to this?
