Janet: I drilled the entry hole and set the scroll table at 2 degrees. Then relief cut out the middle, took it out...worked on the outside part (sanding, routing, staining, etc...) and cut the design into the middle. Put the two pieces together with some glue and finished it with some spray poly.
I like the way the relief cut plaques turn out. Gives it the 3-D look and easy to do.
