I am in the middle of making a name plate for one of my older metal working machines. The pattern is mahogany and so are the letters I cut out on the scroll saw. I am was thinking about a background that has a textured finish like you find on the older plates below. Does anybody know how the old time pattern makers accomplished this affect on the pattern background? Also, would I go about gluing my letters first then texturing or texture the background first then glue up the letters? Thanks for any advice, Jake
