I Really Love that sign, especially the way you left the outline jagged and un-finished, Beautiful. The overall finish was very rich too.
When you speak of "Flexall" are you meaning Flexcut? They produce a Great line of chisels that can be used by hand with an adapter OR in a recriprocating tool.
If you are going to be doing signs then you want to find a few Spoon gouges. Flexcut makes some but not very small. You may find the "Scorps" to work well also bor cleaning out the bottom of the sign.

Keep up the good work and lets see some pic's?
Oh Yes, and AlohaStation is Right on about the basswood. If you want a dissapointing time, try basswood. For some applications it is Very good like if you carve ducks and are going to do a lot of burning in of detail and then Paint the piece, but to keep it natural is very difficult.
