I have to make 2 oak plaques (first time for me). A friend of mine owns a wood shop and made me the plaques out of 1" solid oak boards. My question is... Do I engrave them first and then stain/finish them or am I better off staining them first and then engraving them? Or can it be done either way with different results.
Again, this is my first time making these so which why will produce the best result and will be the easiest for me.
Thanks much,
Mike
