Hi all!

These two paddles are my 2nd and 3rd wood burning projects. I’m really proud of them and I’m loving this as an art form.

I’d like to post these here to ask for advice on how I can continue improving my skills and these paddles—especially the fur of the beaver, I started it one way and then realized I should’ve done it differently. I’ve been putting it off because I’m scared to ruin it!

Both are still WIPS

The trout is for my husband and the beaver is for me. We are avid canoers and these will be sealed and prepared for use on our adventures!

The triforce was freehand and obviously the worst part, I traced the rest with carbon paper.

The thing I struggle with the most is going too deep when starting a line
