Re: wood burning
More great work, you’re going to have to get you a booth at the Bowie trades day soon to start selling these.
Re: wood burning
Help! We have alcoholics anonymous, gamblers anonymous, but do we have wood burners anonymous (not Pyromania )?
I can't stop, I keep looking for new patterns and new ideas. Now I just wish they were looking more realistic...

Re: wood burning
Great work. Are you using carbon paper to transfer drawings to the wood?
Re: wood burning
Yes on most of them. Some things like the background or the baby elephant I freehand, then outline everything with different wood burning tips. Then the shading which I hope to get better at.

Re: wood burning
I don't think I've shown these.
In the first one there are a few knot holes that look like extra islands...

Here's my latest. I don't do wildlife very well or background scenery.
I'm rather proud of the Clint Eastwood.

Re: wood burning
A couple of more I've finished.
The first one is my brother in law's horse so that one is going to him.
The next one is how I started out on the Winchester logo and then the third one is it finished.

Re: wood burning
Most excellent work ! I wish I had talent like that. My favorite ones are the ones done on the round or ovals with the live edges (bark). It enhances the work more than on a plank. More natural. Myself, I can’t draw a straight line even if it’s 1 inch in length. Very impressive work.
"The Edge...There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
Re: wood burning
Just finished these two.

Re: wood burning
For the past few days I've been doing some simple projects and practicing with different wood burner tips and techniques. I also got some colored leaded pencils used with woodworking and tried them on a couple of projects. The last one is from an oil painting and I think I have some more practicing to do...

Re: wood burning
Here is what I finished this week. I have a friend that has a booth at an antique mall and he sells all kinds of stuff including knives. He is going to take some of my works and put them in his booth and see if they will sell.

Re: wood burning
Finished up the first one late last night.
Wasn't sure if Elvis was going to look like Elvis and I'm mad about the last one. I didn't notice the wood was bad until it was too late to stop.

Re: wood burning
Got these two finished today. The first one is from an actually photo of my brother and his wife when they drove all the way up through Canada to Alaska. They would stop and do some hiking sometimes on the trails. In this one he set his camara up on a timed shot.

Here is the picture of Mona Lisa, then a drawing (different background), and then my woodburning example of the Mona Lisa.

Re: wood burning
That's all excellent work. How long does it take for you to transfer a picture (say like the sailing ship) to the wood using carbon paper?
