First we bought this 1 1/2" thick Styrofoam insulation at Home Depot and peeled off the plastic coating...
then we put it up on the router table . . . What? You say you don't have a CNC router? Ok, well, then just cut out some tombstone shapes with a band saw or jigsaw...
and instead of routing the letters, just paint them on with black paint. I filled my routed letters with black paint too. Then using a sponge, start sponging on grays and whites to mimic granite.
After letting that dry, sponge on dabs of greens, golds (for lichen), and dark reds (for rust or blood). Then use a spray bottle to make the paint run....
