Back in April I went to a “Surface Design on Wood” program at the library. This weekend I finally finished the project 
.
It ended up being a kind of a choose-your-own-adventure affair, but luckily my board had a built-in tree trunk once I rotated it, so I leaned into that for the design. The trunk is oil-based wood stain, and the words are wood-burned. It’s hard to tell from the photos, but some parts I also went over with a Dremel.
A few extra/progress shots:
Thanks for looking!
Very cool and I love the design!
I love how you used the grains as a tree trunk.
What a cool project your library organized. I love yhe bright green you used. It really contrasts with the natural wood to draw your attention in.
That’s absolutely beautiful! And so cool that you spotted a tree trunk in the wood grain
This turned out so cool! I love how you utilized the grain pattern to make a trunk and filled in the sides with a very relevant quote.
Thanks, everyone! The teacher was also really tickled I was using the wood’s features that way. I was mostly relieved it was there, because I didn’t really have any ideas and most of the supplies were outside my usual wheelhouse. It gave me a starting point to work from.
Congratulations! Your amazing project is featured this week!
Your library sounds awesome! How did you like doing the wood burning and working on wood? Do you think you’ll do more in the future?
