How to Transfer a Photo to Wood

I like this idea. This type of project would make great Christmas presents.

Couldn't agree more Karson, sometimes I thought he would never finish it but he did a good explanation of the process.
Christmas 6 months away???. 42 C here yesterday (108 F). We had one of the hottest nights on record.
At least if I did this project today it would dry out quickly, LOL

I've tried this method several times, but could never get acceptable results. I always found there was more paper to remove after the picture dried. When I tried to add more water and rub lightly to remove the residual paper, the printed picture would start to come off like it did in a few areas of your picture. I finally gave up and tried a different method where you just transfer the picture from a wax piece of paper and there's no rubbing. This method worked, but leaves very little room for error.
