Get some tape, carbon transfer paper and a colored pen. Find the center of your wood and
place your image on the desired locaon. Tape the top of your image onto the wood to prevent
it from shiing. Slide the carbon paper underneath your image (glossy side down).
Take out your pen and trace the image. I like using a pen because I feel like I don’t have to add
as much pressure while I’m tracing the image. It is useful to use a colored pen so that you can
see the area that was already traced.
Once the image has been completely transferred, gently li the boom poron of the design to
ensure that you have traced the whole image onto the wood. If so, remove the paper.
When burning the image, start at a lower heat and slowly increase the temperature as
needed. If you start too hot, you will get an uneven burn and possible burn marks outside your
design. Do not press down hard while burning. If you feel the need to push down hard on the
wood with the pen to get the desired darkness/shade, your temperature is too low and needs to
be increased.
