Didn’t think of that. That may look pretty cool.
Thank you very much for the input.
For some reason I am very apprehensive trying to make wood art.
The third option is the best in my opinion.

Thank you for responding.
I may start on this today and see how it turns out.
I sent it to my wife and her comment was “YUK”.
That’s because you called it “Art”, and not anything else. Art has to be sloppy, curvy, evoke images of malcontent, drippy and at the very least without straight lines! 
You may be an engineer if …

All are impressive, but 3 is tops for me.

I suggest you run all three in pink insulation foam or something, so you can actually see how they come out. I do a lot of this kind or work myself, and often find that renderings are not particularly useful for judging the feel of designs.
Pink foam allows you to run at maximum speed and depth, even on a nomad, so the time and cost of testing is very low.

Great idea, Josh. What about that green foam they use for flower arrangements?
Large Floral Foam Block
Doesn’t that get fiberglass wrapped around the bit?
(Sorry, couldn’t help myself.) 
That stuff is way too soft. I think it would really be messy. I wouldn’t want it mixed with my wood dust in the vacuum. OCD kicking in.
Agreed, that flower foam seems like it might not hold much detail. Also it might be more expensive? Not sure. Here’s a very old post about pink foam, specifically using it with a Nomad classic.

Has anyone painted this material? If so, how did it turn out?
I have and it came out great. This material is routinely used for stage props and scenery. If you want to spray paint it, you need to prime it first or it’ll melt. You can also sand it, though you should start at 220 or higher, and wear lung Ppe.

Type of primer, “latex”?
I’m partial to Zinsser primers, they sand beautifully. But I think any old cheap latex or water to seal it is fine. You can also coat it with mod podge or diluted PVA glue etc. But all of this is for stuff you plan to spray paint. You can also skip this step and just hit it with acrylic paint from the jump, works great.

Thank you for the information.
I am not sure if I’ll be trying this anytime in the near future, but I’ll save this info just in case.

I think version three looks the best.
