Any tips on how to obtain just the outline of the badge? Trying to make some plaques (see wood plaque).
If you use the import on the left-hand side of the screen (rectangle with arrow in it), you can use the image trace function. Set it to outline. You may need to do a bit of cleanup and a couple of joins to get the lines right on the Eagle wings, but it will get you close. I tried it with your images; the first one will get you closest. You’ll need to use shapes to cover the stuff in the center.
Try this one Ray, I cleaned it up in CorelDraw
Good Luck

Yes, and you did an outstanding job of preparing it to carve. You should explain how you did it or do a video to help others learn the process.
It would be a long video, I used the Bezier Tool in Corel to draw each line. Sometimes you can do an image trace if the image is good but that one wasn’t good so I had to redraw the entire image. I lighten up the image so I can see the lines better and start drawing. Draw the lines and then connect them so they are all one image. The red lines are the ones that I have drawn, I probably have 6 hours in that logo.

In the future, you can use bitmap trace in Inkscape to turn the picture into a vector. Then you can use the node editor to clean it up – CTRL-L is your friend too.
