From this piece of balsa wood
To this piece of balsa wood
To this piece!!!!
This weeks lotstodo challenge theme is 'It's all in a name'. A while ago Hilda sent me a piece of balsa wood. Having never used this before and having it a while, I decided I needed to give it a try. Firstly I traced the letters onto the block of wood and slowly started chipping away at them. This took a good couple of hours, not having the correct tools and stuff but my craft knife and stanley knife came in handy. I lightly sanded it down and used a cut down emery board to get into the small gaps. I then decided that the letters needed more definition, so I created a groove in the wood to enhance them.
Then I got my new wood burning tool and decided to outline each letter with it. I now think it looks fab, even if I do say so myself!!

What a cool project, the balsa wood seems a really versatile medium, these would make great door plaques and gifts TFS XXX

Fabulous work whilst I have been away - love all the things you have done
This is great Sam, love how you outlined the letters to make them stand out.
This is awsome, i love the font too, well done you xx
STUNNING and well done on getting it cut out so precisely without woodworking tools. I don't trust myself with a Stanley knife, I'd probably amputate my fingers!
Great piece - I bet Fraser's chuffed with his name plate.
