A good tip for creating an accurate lettering stencil for burning wood is to make sure to seal the wood, as this will help protect your artwork from further damage. To trace your design, you can use a sharp knife or an open flame.

Statistics
- If your lumber isn't as dry as you would like when you purchase it (over 22% in Glen Huey's opinion…probably over 10-15% in my opinion), then it's a good idea to let it acclimate to your workshop for a couple of weeks. (woodandshop.com)
- Woodworkers on the lower end of that spectrum, the bottom 10% to be exact, make roughly $24,000 a year, while the top 10% makes $108,000. (zippia.com)
- Overall employment of woodworkers is projected to grow 8 percent from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average for all occupations. (bls.gov)

How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a digital caliper (a tool used to measure distances), a laser level (used to make sure your work surface is flat), and a bubble level (used to make sure your work surface is perpendicular).
A digital caliper can have two jaws, which open and close. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. The digital caliper can be used to measure small distances such as the thickness of wood.
Laser levels are equipped with an infrared light beam, which projects a line across a floor. The laser emits a red dot along the line. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. The device will inform you if the surface is level if the bubble is in the center. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
