too cool man. thats like beyond woodburning thats ART. Do you think you could make copies of your drawings? I would definately use them! I have tremors so i cant draw nearly that well.

E-Dog, that is so great, very cool! I'm really keeping a watch on this wood-burning thing. I remember doing some as a kid, with a fairly wide iron, but I recall that it made distinct depressions in the wood (which is OK for a body, could be strange for the fretboard of a neck). As a real artist, I imagine you can get the effect you want without denting the wood too much, eh?

One other thing; on the body you showed, the design near the bridge (where the 9 holes are) will be mostly covered.

Yea if you burn with high heat you can leave no indentions. Also your right about the hardware covering some things up. This is just a start really to feel it out mainly. I am gonna get some parts when I get back from vacation to go ahead and slap on and maybe just trace out there profile to use as markers of what will not be seen.
