I’ve been engraving lots of cutting boards and other wooden gifts recently and everything has turned out pretty great!
Pics out of order, but a few showing tests on similar unstained wood, and then the final results on pre-stained oak. It was a bit nerve-wracking to put the finished pieces in there without having something exactly the same to do a test run on first!
Note: Baby wipes work amazingly well at getting the smoke-oil stuff off from around the cut, but it also removed some of the stain … So be careful with them!
