Wood Burning!

I recently completed a project that was very new to me - I tried my hand at wood burning for the first time. I purchased a cheap, used acoustic guitar and removed the hardware/strings, stripped the original paint, and sanded it down entirely to the bare wood. I found some skull references online, and wood burned the images into the face of the guitar, and then filled the negative space in with freehand roses. I picked out some red and dark brown wood stains and a clear gloss varathane to use as a sealer, and used black acrylic paint for the sides of the guitar. After the stains and varathane had dried, I put all the hardware back on for a finished look.
