Project Question?

[ubgoofy2003]

I have a dilema & can't decide what I should do with this new project. It's a 3/4 in. thick bass wood piece with the bark on either side & the pattern I made myself. Should I cut it or wood burn it? It is a little thick for cutting, but, not a problem. I'm just going to run it buy all of you to see how you feel about it. I'll let you know what I decide & the finished project will be posted for you to view. Thanks for any ideas or give me a push. HA

If it were me I would burn it. This is a great pattern and it would look amazing with different shades of burning.

If you are experienced in pyrography I'd burn it as well. It will look awesome.

I agree, burn it or carve it.

Cut baby, Cut!

Perk, how about a combination of both cutting and burning? I have done that on several pictures, they look great together.

Thanks everyone & Mick, I have done both on some pieces too. I have been leaning toward that or just burning, because it is basswood, no wood grain. They use it a lot for carving . As a matter of fact, that's where I got the piece of wood. At our Wood Carvers annual show. They do some awsome carving & burning too, with their carvings. Will be a while before I get a start on this, as I'm finishing up the Iwo Jima cuttings that I did. Just finishing the frames. Thanks for your comments everyone.
