15 Creative Wooden Etching Concepts
When you think of the concept of “woodworking”, you probably think of woodworking. Even as a DIYer, you probably don’t have the skills you need to use a high-powered saw and other tools to build things out of wood. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t create art out of wood! Pyrography, or the art of wood burning or etching, is a gorgeous skill that requires a lot of care and practice, but is more manageable for most of us. The final product is simply stunning!
