I have used this type in combination with wood fonts on multiple occasions and they work wonderfully. We cut the outlines of the letters into the plywood so we could line them up evenly. It's a surprisingly simple process, and i'm shocked no one else is doing it. There are two more posts here http://end-grain.net/?cat=10 detailing the process we used. If you want the specs on the plexi and plywood we used, I can get those to you.

Please explain it looks great and if its affordable I may try to this in my shop. Casey iLp Do you use a router or CNC to cut these fonts?
