I gave wood burning a try. Simple little design of a Napkin holder with some mice in front and swiss cheese for the back.

What ya think? My wife likes it I was surprised.....LOL

I like it as is, BUT it really would look sharp painted!

I just have a pencil type burner from walmart...1 tip is all it came with. Thanks for the nice comments.

Hi Mike - Cute design and now you're at least one more up on me mate - this is something you could say I'm burning to try.

I was mulling over buying a decent burner from the US but i think it will have to wait a little. Too many things, too little time.....

O.k., let me update here and say Great job Mike .Thats the kind I have,and they are a bugger to use! You can buy a pack of assorted tips at Hobby Lobby for around eight bucks if ya want to play around with different shading.

Nice work Mike, I have one of that type too and also bought some tips. Too awkward to use for much detail, but I don't have the funds yet to buy a pen outfit.

It is fun to do and I may invest in a better burner, but not right now I'm afraid...we just got the final tally on my radiation therapy...Hey buddy ya got a dime? LOL so I don't cry.
