Be sure to print it in reverse. Then take the large round transfer point in the woodburning kit (you can buy it separate from walnut hollow), place your copy image side down on the wood and burn the back of the paper against the wood (always keep the tip moving) until the toner melts and transfers to the wood. Then just burn over the toner on the wood. I also use carbon paper from used purolator strips if I can't copy the image nicely and need to do it by hand. I'll post a tutorial on this on my blog later today, if you want.<BR/><BR/>Although I have a professional unit and pen now, those script boxes were made with nothing more than a 10$ woodburner. I love the burning you have done so far and can't wait to see you do a script box too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-66513275736125929432008-04-22T09:19:00.000-08:002008-04-22T09:19:00.000-08:00I've never tried woodburning, but as you describe ...I've never tried woodburning, but as you describe it, it seems simple enough.

Or you could iron on a transfer pattern such as you'd get for embroidery. I think you can also buy the blank transfer paper too which would allow you to print it off in your computer.Scribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178711182424809035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-34271282401183111282008-04-21T13:45:00.001-08:002008-04-21T13:45:00.001-08:00The tool I have isn't a fancy version (they have s...The tool I have isn't a fancy version (they have some that have temperature control and all sorts of goodies built in).
