Red Cedar
How can I carve Psalm 127:1 on a 4ft 2x6 of Western Red Cedar?

I am refinish a deck and I want to carve/engrave Psalm 127:1 on to the top rail of the deck but I'm not sure where to start. I know cedar is not the best wood on which to carve, but it's what the rest of the deck is made of. Should this be carved or should it be engraved with a rotary tool? I have some Wood Working experience but not much carving/engraving experience, but I'm more than willing to learn.

Once I have the lettering carved, I plan of painting the lettering black then filling the void with a clear epoxy or sealer so that the surface will remain "unbroken". Can anyone recommend a good brand for this purpose?

After the surface is filled I plan on sanding the entire thing down to create a smooth surface with the letters seeming to be inset into the wood, then sealing the rest of the wood.

Any advice for this project would be appreciated.
I do have a dremel tool, but I'm not very good at creating smooth lines with it.

I would suggest the Dremel tool, but practice on something before you try it on the real thing. Draw the letters out with pencil first to get the spacing. That will give you something to go by too.

OneTIME Wood Protector Red Cedar, Qt
USD 34.69
 
OneTIME is not paint or a film coating, not oil- or water-based, doesnt cure by out gassing or evaporation, contains no solvents, and has no VOCs. It is a proprietary acrylate resin blend that penetrates wood, actually becoming part of the cellular structure, and cures by exposure to UV radiation. Curing requires two dry days with no rain (portable items may be moved inside when wet and then outside again to finish curing). OneTIME is a game changer in wood protection, because its guaranteed to protect new wood, old wood, pressure treated wood, or wood that has had the previous coating removed -for seven years! Imagine not having to either strip or refinish your outdoor projects -chairs, picnic tables, trellises, siding, decks, or fences- every year or two. Even birdhouses, because OneTIME is nontoxic when cured! You may want to refresh the color at some point, but that is easy to do. Clean the surface of the wood with a mild detergent and reapply.
