NOTE : It's important to keep in mind that some wood burners come with different head attach-ments. Make sure your burner tip is tightly screwed in before you start burning.
Once you've turned on the wood burner, it can take it a little while a few minutes for it to warm up completely. However, you should never leave it unattended. You can see how hot the burner has gotten by making test spots on the back of the wood You'll know when the burner is at its highest temperature when the marks you're making are a deep, dark brown color - it should look like a dark stained wood. You can make lighter marks by pressing lighter on the wood as well. Remember : your wood will start to smoke, especially if it still has some sap in it.
Don't let this startle you! If you enjoy the smell of a fireplace, you'll enjoy this. NOTE : if you are using a very thin piece of wood, you don't want to press very hard with the wood burner. If you do, it will burn a hole in the wood and not only ruin your project, but also the surface you're working on. Give it awhile to cool down completely before packing it away.
Again, do not leave it unattended while it is still hot. You can then grab your eraser and erase the left over pencil marks that remain on your design if you choose to. Optionally: you can use a fine grain sandpaper to gently go over the design if the wood burning process left any rough marks or edges on your project. Pick whatever color wood stain you want and just cover the whole piece. Don't worry - it won't mess up your design. If you want some areas of wood to remain lighter, just avoid them as you stain.
While you're painting, you do want to be a bit more careful with the paint than you would be with the stain. If you get paint into the grooves of your design, it can cover them up and you'll have to try and clean them out. Once the stain or paint has dried, you can then add a coat of wood varnish to give it some shine and protection!

I was planning on staining the board then using paint and a clear finish over top of the paint. I have already stained it but now I think I might like to burn the lines and number in before clear coating it. What say you?
