Make A Photo Engraved On Wood

By Chandra Zane


As you very well know, a photo engraved on wood is one of the top selling art work that you can find. Although you need to be a skilled artist so that you can make this, at least you can start by practicing step by step. You just need to get the needed materials for this.

Now that you are about to begin, you need to gather the different materials that you will use for this. You need the copy of a photograph that you will use, hard wood board and a carbon paper. Once you already have this, then you can now start right away.

To start, you need to place the hard wood board on a flat surface. So that the carbon is against the lumber, you need to put the carbon paper on top of the board. Now you need to lay the photograph over the carbon and tape it in its proper place.

The next thing that you need to do is to put the details of the picture on to the board. You can do this by tracing the picture and adding a bit of pressure to it so that it will stick to the carbon and then to the board. Once this is already done, you can now get the photograph and check if you have traced it well.

You are now ready to start engraving on the board. Just be sure to use flowing and small strokes to it so that you will not make a deep cut and the result will not be as smooth as you want it to be. If you are already done with it, then you need to turn the rotary tool off.

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 yo wish to do other than this, then you can also try laser engraved frames art. This is also a fun thing to do yet still as hard as the others. However, if you really put your heart in to this and if you really want to excel with this then you might even be part of the engraved awards.

So for the photo engraved on wood, you just need to master your skills so that you will become an expert of it. Once you will hone your abilities, you can be able to teach others about what you know. You just need to be humble about it and just do what you do best.
