Pyrography

This celtic jewelry box is a Christmas gift I made for my twin sister. It took an INSANE amount of time. Wood-burning Celtic knots takes FOREVER.

Wow Did you craft the wooden box itself as well, or "only" the burnt design?

I bought the wooden box at a local art and craft store (Michael's) and then I did the sanding, burning, staining and polyurethane-ing myself.

Oooh! I did not know you had a twin sister (then again... it's normal I didn't XD). This is like a dream come true to me, I've been looking for one like this for ages !! When are you opening a shop?

Theophilia In reply to Eosphora [2014-01-16 03:14:48 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Hah, for these I could probably be commissioned for them (since they take such a long time), because I certainly couldn't mass produce them.

Back in the 50s when I was a kid, wood-burning kits were advertised all over, but this is the first example of anything more ambitious than a house number sign that I've seen.
