Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 So I have been fiddling around with wood burning for a little while and decided to undertake a little project. I have needed a new coffee table for along while so I went out and procured me a nice unfinished table for a song and a dance and I am going to put my new skill to the test. I plan on covering the top of the table with a wood burned map of the caribbean. I will keep you all posted and try and get some pictures up soon.

JohnnyTarr Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 My only word of advice is don't use to much gasoline, or all will go up in smoke. Sorry again I just have to say these things. Git up of your asses, set up those glasses I'm drinking this place dry.
Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Okay, I got most of the burning done, I just have to stain it now. Here are some pics:
j8ksdad Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Great work! Did you free-hand all that? I'll eat when I'm hungry. I'll drink when I'm dry. If the hard times don't kill me I'll lay down and die. Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey! Rye whiskey I cry. If you don't give me rye whiskey, I surely will die.
oderlesseye Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 That is one great idea..I am building a table right now..

Ransom Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Really wonderful work. Great inspiration for ideas! You know, I have a big wooden chest that I bought at a garage sale a while back. This would be a great way to decorate the top! ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted May 26, 2009 Author Posted May 26, 2009 Great work! Did you free-hand all that? Yep, all free hand. Took me quite a while too. Those wood burning tools are fun to play around with, just take a little getting used too.
silas thatcher Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Yep, all free hand. Took me quite a while too. Those wood burning tools are fun to play around with, just take a little getting used too. how many times did you get yer fingers ??? dang nice work !!
Guest Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 I've played with a woodburner a couple of times.... messed around.... but never done anything as cool as that....... If I didn't have soooooo many other projects, that would inspire me to mess with the wood burner again........... Great work....
Capt. Lazarus Gage Posted May 26, 2009 Author Posted May 26, 2009 Thanks everyone! I don't think I actually ever burnt myself with it..... but I'm going to do an end table next, so we'll see! Now I just have to stain the darn thing.....
Black Syren Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 That is very inspiring and cannot wait to see the end tables. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/Dara286/trident01-11.png If you got a dream chase it, cause a dream won't chase you back...(Cody Johnson Till you Can't)
BlaggardMike Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Do you plan on adding more detail to the map like terrain features (mountain ranges) and what not? Very good work indeed.
Capn' Mac Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Very nice work mate. Are you going to stain it? Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.
