What bit to use?

So I’ve got a few basic projects under my belt. I was asked to make the wedding box in the picture I’ve attached. The box is easy enough, and I’ve bought a copy of the graphic used on top. I just haven’t done anything so intricate and wondered where to to start with a bit type/path type for this graphic.

Any advice appreciated as I think I have the rest of it worked out.

The box looks to be about 4 inches referencing the rings are about 1 inch.

I would try a 60 degree vee and if you have a 20 or 30 degree vee bit. I think a 90 degree would not give a good carve with such small text and the wreath leaves.

Maybe just do a vcarving and an advanced vcarve with 1/32 end mill. I suspect just vcarve will work.

The smaller the text/details are, the more acute the V endmill should be.

I would suggest the #45771-K in:

I entered it as:

and agree, that it looks as if it was used w/ a depth limiting V carve — at least for the leaves.
