I have a customer with a Round logo (contains letters, trees, etc.).
The customer is requesting that the logo be engraved in walnut, and that the unengraved area, the raised lettering, be colored/painted.
I know how basic color fill works, using masking tape, filling after engraving, then removing mask...but this would give me the opposite of the result I'm going for.
My thought is that I could paint a circle, mask the painted area, then engrave. After lasering, and removing mask from raised areas (letters, etc.) would be painted as desired and the remainder of the logo would be engraved.
Has anyone ever done this and/or is there a easier way to get this result?
What's do you think would be the best kind of paint to use on walnut?
Thanks for any information you can provide.
