It would be wonderful if you could make a wooden nameplate yourself, wouldn’t it? So here’s how to make one.

First, scan or import your handwritten lettering into your computer and refine the details.

If you’re not confident in your lettering, you can use a font instead.

Convert the design to just the outer outline, print it out, and attach it to the wood.

Then carve it.

The key is to use a craft knife for fine areas and carving tools for larger areas.

Once the carving is done, apply a water-based varnish to give it a proper nameplate finish.

Since you’ll be using carving tools, please be careful not to injure yourself.
