Gary's Workshop panel features a classic 'gold rush' design. Dan dug out a decorative element from the David Butler’s Gold Collection and used parts of it in the design. The lettering also has that same gold rush feel.

The letting would be deeply bevelled with some 'sandblasted' woodgrain behind. Dan used a woodgrain texture bitmap from our Texture Magic: Classic Collection to achieve this look. The file was much larger than needed (as often happens). The area in the dotted red lines was the tiny portion used for this project.

The panel looks complex but is actually quite simple. Once Dan had all the relief elements created positioned vertically to his satisfaction he merged everything together to make the final relief.

The resulting relief was tool pathed using a 3/8" ball nose bit to rough it our and a 1/8" ball nose bit for the final pass. Then it was sent to be routed.
