Once you have completed the burning, you may have some marks le on your wood from where
you traced your design. These markings cannot simply be erased with a regular eraser. Get a
magic eraser. Add only a lile water to the eraser and gently rub in a circular moon evenly
across the wood. If you do not, you will have splotchy marks on your wood when you stain. If
that happens, simply sand the wood down on those areas. If the image smears with the eraser,
you may be rubbing too hard. Gently rub the eraser on the smudges unl they are gone. Let
the wood completely dry.
To give the wood a nished look, add a lile stain on it. Be sure not to add too much stain or
too dark of a stain or the image will fade into the wood. To protect the image from darkening
over me, varnish the wood with polyurethane or resin.
Now, all you have to do is enjoy all your hard work. Keep praccing and be paent with
yourself. Hang in there, you will get it. I wish you the best of luck and I will see you next me on
truart.co with some more ps to help you along the way.
