Prepping Wood Surfaces for Wood Burning

A smooth wood surface will help you create a smoother, better burn. It is worth the time it takes to make it smooth, trust us.

I was prepping a wood surface, and thought I would show you what I do. Hope you enjoy this quick, little video.

I used:

RZ Mask: M2

Dewalt Oribit Sander

Course Sandpaper: 80-100 grit

Fine Grit Sandpaper: 240 grit

Always wear protection, safety first.

** note: You should also protect your eyes. Wear goggles or glasses to protect your eyes from dust. I normally do if I am doing more than one piece (promise) but you should be better than me. What is the saying.... “do as I say, not as I do.” Lol.
