I've tried and tried to make this T (see attached XAR file) appear to have been carved into the bark. I hope someone can tell me how to do it. I thought it would be easy using the bevel tool, but it just doesn't look carved in.

Use a wider letter and apply the bark fill to the letter and apply an inner Chisled bevel. Apply a wood grain fill to a clone of the text without the bevel.
I cloned the clone and used transparency to make the exposed wood lighter.

bark is very difficult
The thing with removing bark from a tree is that the cambium layer beneath has no wood grain. This is the secondary growth layer which usually is a yellowish-creamy colour.
You'd also expect to see some sap bleed out of a wound.
Just to echo sledger's comment... I liked Gary's effort, but something wasn't sitting well with respect to the wood grain. Then I realized why, grain is seen as rings from the centre of the tree outward to the bark layer, so seeing the grain rings vertically doesn't make sense.
My attempt.
Granted, a little too straight.
Should have attached text to curve, but otherwise, I think it is OK.

That was a very sharp knife you used Andy.
Yes, I suppose seeing the grain through the cut was a bit over the top. It calls for willing suspension of disbelief.
