Roughed out, a little more work, then lettering.

Nice work. I really like the lettering and would be interested to learn your method for getting it so crisp!
The carving was done with gouges, the background was leveled using a L-N bead tool in router plane mode. The lettering was done last, using mostly a knife (I think it's called a sloyd knife), with a sort of modified chip carving technique.
