I didn't find this topic addressed anywhere. Maybe it is and I just didn't see it.
Anyway, my daughter recently gave me this cutting board:

As you can see, the letters need to be darkened so that you can read them. Only, I'm not sure how to go about darkening just the letters and not the wood around the letters.
I've never done something like this and am not sure how to go about it. In my searches, I've found recommendations to use shellac first, then paint, then wipe off the paint. I've also seen using wax, paint, then wipe off the paint. But how do you keep the shellac/wax from getting into the engraved letters?
Everyone here seems so helpful. Please, I need help. I don't want to ruin what she gave me
