I am rather embarrassed to ask the question since I always shun this type of lettering but my arm is being twisted. What ever happened to posting anonymously ?
I am looking for a letter style that the copy appears to be cut out or incised out of a wood board, even better if it also has a western or cowboy feel, any suggestions?
Thanks,
gln
Try entering "wood" in the MyFonts search.

Gerald, if its only a couple of words I suggest you set the type in Photoshop and use layer styles to create the cutout feel. That way you can choose almost any font that works with the style

If you need something more CUTOUT, Max Kisman has a few fonts like that over at http://www.HollandFonts.com
Jim those are great fonts. Gerald if you need the style in Photoshop to give you the cut in effect I'll find it for you.
Dan W,
I am still running Photoshop 5.5
I'm not sure that version has a style for the cut in affect.
Jim R,
Thanks for the postings, they look very promising.

Gerald, here is the formula in case you have styles in Photoshop 5.5.
Bevel/Emboss > Pillow Smooth > 390% > Size 2 > Soften 4
Inner Glow > 100% Opacity > Solid Color (choose your own) > Technique: Percise > Source: Center
Inner Shadow > Multiply Black > 75% > Distance 7 > Size 7
This will give you a good starting point. When you make the effect put the type above your wood image and change the blending effects to Multiply
