Topic tags/keywords: woodburning Long about October I started querying my fellow jocks about the best woodburning set up to get my wife as a present. I got one for her for Christmas and subsequently posted her practice board.

Here’s a look at her $125.00 project: Who knows what might happen with your project! -- "Bordnerizing" perfectly good lumber for over a decade. |

First and foremost, Doug, it is a beautiful piece. She has great natural ability. Now cross your fingers and hope that her art really turns into a financial success. Then you can retire and spend all your time in the shop. :-) -- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood" |

Looks like you need to put her to some serious work. And of course use some of the proceeds for some new shop equipment that you can “share” :) -- Ben, Living the good life in Maine now (almost, just need to retire in 2 decades time) |
