I am so excited to see you spreading the word on wood burning, Grace! I snagged a wood burning kit a couple months ago and am finding it to be such a satisfying way to personalize gifts, and with all the amazing woodworked goods out there right now it’s the perfect time for people to get more in touch with this awesome craft.
I’d love to know where you bought the cutting boards that you’re so beautifully wood-burning. They’re on my list for Christmas gifts. Wish I were closer so that I could attend the fair!
Love the Renegade Craft Fair – always a lot of fun. Hopefully we’ll see you there this year!
