My mom really likes gingerbread men, so I thought I’d use my new pyrography skills to make a simple tray for my mom. I still need to put a finishing coat on it. I’m getting food grade safe wax for it, but it will have to wait until after Christmas to be fully finished. I hope she likes it!
Cute. Um, shouldn’t the G-men be brown? Stain?

I thought of painting them, but I was afraid I’d ruin the entire thing. I may still try stain, but I have no idea how that will work with the paint that’s already on there. I’m keeping it as-is for now. I will let my mom give her opinion after she opens it on Christmas.

I’m sure your mom will love this, I know I do! I really like the balance of the gingerbread men in the two opposing corners and the pops of color provided by the paint.

That turned out so well! I’ve tried wood-burning before and it is not easy to master but yours are great and the color adds a great pop to the wood.

When I do woodburning that will touch food, I finish them with a good rubbing of mineral oil.
