Default I've joined the dark side, hehe
Hello all, I traded 12 of my Santa Ornaments for a "Colewood Super Pro II and the case, 4 tips. So I figured I better try it out. This is my first attempt at doing a picture with woodburning so go easy one me.
The border is from Lora Irish's new woodburning book, the greenman in my pattern. Done on 1/4" birch plywood, 9-3/4"x 11" Tell me what yall think!

Excellente Amigo! I really like that.

But, say it isn't so about going to the dark side. Darth Vader didn't make it through the dark side! HEHEHEHEh

Hi GaryMc, the wood burners are really fun aren't they! I think you did a wonderful job on the woodburning. I gotta get Susan's new book.
