An appliqué is a carving which may be applied to you sign or it may be used on its own, such as a decorative wall hanging.
Since most appliqués are painted, I carve them from HDU or sugar pine. If your appliqué is to be natural, I will carve it from sugar pine or a wood of your choice.
Point of interest. During the days of ship carving, an appliqué which was applied to the stern of a ship, was referred to as a Stern Design and it was usually placed between the Transom Board and the Hail Board.
