Decorating wooden boxes by hand can be fun and very satisfying and there are many techniques and processes developed over the years that can be used to create visually stunning, decorative effects.
Pyrography is one of the traditional techniques used to provide special, decorative features, motifs and effects on wooden boxes and can also be used as a base for other decorations.
Polmac Treasure Chests With Pyrographic Decorative Motifs
A hand held, electric pyrographic tool is used to literally burn decorative shapes onto wood, to create original patterns and textures that can then be over painted with natural wood and colour stains and / or block colours!
Metal strip inlay is a technique that uses flexible, thin gauge, corrugated, or plain brass or nickel plated metal strips, as lines to create patterns, shapes, decorative motifs and borders.
A thin groove is cut into the wood and the metal strips tapped in, flush with the surface of the wood. Any raised edges are then, ‘sanded’ off, on a special sanding machine, to provide a flush, even finish on the wood surface.
