Hi,

I'm new to the game. I'm curious to know if western red cedar board would be a good wood to engrave designs on. Is there another soft wood that would be better?

Thanks!

Cedar of all kinds engraves well in my experience. I especially like aromatic cedar. I recently finished a commercial project engraving a logo using rough cut red cedar and my customer was quite pleased. Sorry I can't post a picture.
