OK, got the wood burner hot and went for it...First time ever with a wood burner...The Cross will be brass inlay when I get back in the shop.
stickbender:
Well for the first time with a wood burner, you did very well! 8) There are various styles, and types, and sizes of pryographic, tools available. You can do feathers, right down to the little barbs on the feathers, and such. A lot of the decoy, and bird carvers use them. I like it! Are you going to slice grooves for the cross? You can use fret wire, and or German Silver, and flatten one edge, and insert that edge, and use epoxy if you want, and or just pound the edge in, and then you can use various tipped punches, and chisels, to shape the cross, into a plain cross, or a more fancy one, like the French ones, with the flared ends. Then light file, sand, and polish it. You did that Tomahawk sweet justice! Just keep it out of J.W.'s reach. ;) Especially with the Owl on it! ;)

Thats some good looking work Don, cool project.
burchett.donald:
Thanks stickbender and Badly Bent for checking in...
Used a sharpened 1/8 drill bit (butt end) and carved out the cross. Took some 1/8 brass stock and epoxied it in. Maybe file it down the coming weekend...Wayne I used what I had laying around the shop, never done this before. One day I might go high tech and get some good tools for these projects...
