Pyrography
Pyrography is the art of burning patterns, shapes and pictures onto wood, plastic or leather.
On the left is an example that I did on a shaped piece of pine board. The board was shaped and routered and sanded before the image was burned on using a pyrography tool. Three coats of gloss varnish were added to the finished piece.

Scroll Saw Work
The Apple and Pear kitchen plaques were made in pine by drawing the shape of the fruit onto the wood, then carefully cutting them out using a Scroll Saw. Once the pieces were cut, they were given a colour wash, re-assembled and glue to the backing board. When dry, these plaques were given 3 coats of satin varnish.
