Nice job!

Where did you find the colored wood?Smile

I'd be interested in what you used for the color.

Thanks

Thanks for the compliments, I used colored pencils to shade it in, that was a first also. I need to ask some of the pros, here how I should finish it. I also plan on putting some sort of frame around it.

Thumbs Up Mel, terriffic first woodburning and you did color too! I'm impressed greatly. I love the colored pencil work did you use oil pencils?
For a finish on my woodburning I brush on two coats of Winwax polyacrylic. I let the first coat dry over night and then apply the second coat the next day.
As for framing I have found a wood frame fits these woodburning really well. Usually a rustic type frame like barnwood, driftwood. Hey you could even make your own frames.
Thought about your next woodburning? You know you can't just do one! tee hee
