Make A Photo Engraved On Wood

By Chandra Zane


It has already been widely known that a photo engraved on wood art is one of the best selling arts today. No matter what design or drawing it has, it definitely is the most popular in a lot of arts and crafts shows. However, it takes years and skills for you to master this kind of field.

As you start on this, you really need to be as patient with yourself as ever. This is not an easy job so it is okay for you to get a lot of mistakes. You need to buy a hard wood board, carbon paper and of course the copy of a photograph that you will follow.

You need to look for a flat surface area where you can put the hard wood board. After doing this, you need to get the carbon and put it on top of the board so that it will be against the wood. The copy photograph should also be placed on top of the carbon taped all together.

Tracing of the picture is the next thing that you should do. You need to do this thoroughly so that all of the details will be transferred to the carbon and then of course to the board. After you finish doing this, then you are now ready for the next step.

When you start to engrave, you need to begin with the outer lines of the board. Also, when you do this, you need to do it in a soft and calm manner so that you can avoid getting a deep cut that will not look nice to your board anymore. You just need to be patient enough in doing this.

Next up is that you just need to continue to engrave the other details of the photograph. You just need to remember to use the small attachment so that the other details can be cleared and cleaned as well. The finest details also need to be emphasized just like the others because all of it should be seen.

If you want to do other stuff then you can also do laser engraved frames. This might eventually become your means of living and you might even be part of the famous engraved awards and win as many awards as you can. You just need to set your priorities straight and do what you love most.

It really takes hard work and perseverance for you to know and get the feel of the skill for this photo engraved on wood art. This can be one of your hobbies or you can actually do this for a living. As long as you are enjoying, then you are on the right track.
