Default even more practice (background removal)

Had a go at background removal. Found it really difficult. Could have done with a wider cutter maybe or even a large flat for the area I was removing. I re-created a logo on a 60mm brass medal blank. At first I should have cut initial outlines deeper and wider to begin with. Ended up having to go over it twice...doubling the cutting time. I'm happy with the overall look of it.

Hi John,

Cutting and re-cutting to get the result you like is fine.That plate looks great.
