Letter cutting

Letter cutting is a way to create raised letters and shapes from materials like stone, wood, or metal. People use a special tool, like a chisel or saw, to carve the material into the shape of a letter. After the letter is carved, it sticks up from the surface of the material and looks like it has been printed or painted on. Letter cutting is often used for signs, monuments, and other decorations.
