Is anyone into this? I'm thinking of buying a wooden chest next month and using a wood burning pen to burn a design into the top of it then paint it

I've done this before but I don't think I would paint it, I would use linseed oil in order bring out the burn marks.
Either way a very fun & satisfying project! |

It can be a really beautiful art form. For my furniture pieces that I make, I used to do this but I do not have time anymore so I buy premade accent and trim pieces from local artist. I wish you well in pursuing it; it can be very rewarding. Have fun.

I don't do it myself, but I've seen some really great examples of it. It's a pretty neat art form.
