See how easy it is to engrave or carve just about anything. this demonstration is on how to carve a leaf pattern onto a wooden coin using power carving, high speed engraving equipment.. Go slowly when carving your engraved wooden sign. if you rush, you end up making funny little divets in the wood. and, guys, funny divets are not cute. go slow, take your time, and enjoy the process! experiment with different tips, trying larger and smaller engraving and carving tips to get the effect you want..
