Wood Plaque
A Touch of Heritage With Wall Plaques
Wall plaques
Wall plaques are available in myriad shapes, sizes, materials and designs. The best part about wall plaques is that they are a wonderful addition to any part of the home. Be it the living room, the verandah, the patio or the garden, a wall plaque can gracefully ornate the place by its presence.
If you take a peek into the history books, you will find that wall plaques were present since ages. Go to an old cemetery and you will still find moss laden wall plaques that have wilted with age but still reflect the charm and grace of a bygone era.
You can personalize a wall plaque for your home. It can be a decorative addition or one created specially to remember a special day. They can be plain informative or poetically inclined too.
Types of wall plaques
Most wall plaques in the olden days were carved out of stone or wood. But since they tend to be heavy, resin has replaced most of them.
Now you can replicate the look of wood or stone without having to bear the weight. And the best part about resin is that it is highly resistant to wear and tear and the extremities of weather.
Of course, you can choose your own wall plaque material. If you can afford it you can have it made out of a costly metal.
A lot of people have now started using crystal to make wall plaques. These have a stupendous effect under lights.
Designs
When it comes to designs, the sky is the limit. Depending on the kind of wall plaque that you have, you can choose from hundreds of designs.
For example, bird lovers can have designs of birds and animals, floral designs are exquisite looking and the most used and ideal one for garden plaques is angelic symbols.
If you are charmed by the orient, then you have a wide array of Chinese symbols to choose from.

How do you make those burned wood designs?
I think we may have done this in school. You get a piece of wood, like for a plaque, then you somehow burn a design into it. How do you do that?
I'm thinking of adding some type of design onto a tabletop and I thought this might look nice. That or maybe getting some stencils and doing some engraving......can you use an engraving tool on wood (pine)?
Okay, now those are two different things.
Firstly, burning in wood is called pyrography (pyro - fire, graph - writing). You do it with a pyro pen which is basically a piece of wire on a handle, plugged into electricity so it gets hot. Soldering iron works almost just as well. You can buy it in any art/craft shop.
Secondly, wood engraving is done with small knives for woodcut. They come in all different shapes like U, V, flat, curved, pointed... etc. Pine is not the best wood for engraving because it splinters along the lines.
You need a homogeneous, solid but soft wood like pear or linden.
To burn a design into your table, you first need to get any paint or varnish off. I suggest you take it to a carpenter, they have special tools to do that. Else you will loose a week doing it with sandpaper.
Then trace your designs onto the table with copy-paper, but do it LIGHTLY. Then you plug in your pyro pen and go over the lines.
A couple of warnings: make sure the tracing paper is yellow or brown, because you WILL miss the line sometimes, and if it's blue or green it will show in a very ugly way.
Second, the burnt lines of pyrography tend to fade in the direct sunlight. Make sure you etch them as evenly as possible and also quite deep. Then put 2 coats of varnish over it. Try to keep out of direct sunlight and strong light.
Here is an example of one of my works: a coat of arms in a mixed technique, first engraved in wood, patina applied and then shadowing added with pyrography.
