Newest project - wooden pictures

[Fordman4ever]

So I've taken up a new hobby, transferring pictures onto blocks of wood. its a pretty cool effect.

Here's the same one but in color. it didn't come out so good so I took a sander to it to make it look like an old faded photo.

Thanks. 2 more will be done tomorrow.

That's pretty darn cool man! How do you do it if you don't mind me asking. Is it just a sticker type thing?

I use a gel medium to transfer the ink from a photo that has been printed on regular printer paper to the wood and then cover it with a clear coat.

Sweet stuff brother :tu Keep it up!!

[Fordman4ever]

Here is my latest creation. After I got the pic on the wood, I used a dremel tool to carve out the edges to make it look like unfinished wood work.

That one is so sweet!

[Fordman4ever]

Thanks.

I just picked up some red oak and some poplar to try out. The red oak looks like it will be good to do a smaller photo on and then stain the edges like a frame.

[Fordman4ever]

Here's one I'm doing for my Mom.

here it is with the clear coat. Now all I need to do is figure out how to finish it.

[Blak Smyth]

You should make wooden ash trays and put an image in them.

[Fordman4ever]

That's a pretty good idea Shane.

Here is the latest piece that I have done. It is a picture of the Cain F Lancero.

got a new one in the works. This is as far as I got before the battery in my dremel died.

[Fordman4ever]

Here's one I did for a buddy of mine to hang up in his garage.

Since its a racing plaque I tried to make the edges look like burn out marks. I think it turned out pretty cool

[Fordman4ever]

Here's my latest one. I think I'm going to leave it unfinished. I like the way it looks.
