“Kings don’t Die” was inspired by those who lead others throughout times and refuse to give up ever.
Tools used for this project:
- Woodburning Kit
- A rectangular piece of plywood
- Old English Font Stencil – 2 inches
- Skull Profile Stencil – Small (5.75″x6″)
- Flower Stencil 4-Pack
- Pencil and eraser
- Painter’s tape
Place the skull stencil and trace the outline of the stencil with a pencil.
Then, outline the rose from the flower 4-Pack on the left and right side of the bottom portion of the piece of wood.
Take the 2 inch Old English Font stencil and begin tracing over the letters while leaving enough space between the characters. For this project, I decided to break up the word “don’t” into two lines. You can get creative with the placements of the stencils.
Draw the crown freehand on top of the skull to create a stylized look. You can draw it whichever way you desire.
After that, use the fine point tip and start burning along the outline you drew. Take your time while woodburning and take breaks if you need to. Remember to rest your woodburning tool on the metal stand included in your kit.
When finished burning the outline, erase the pencil marks and switched to the wide tip, and begin burning the inside of the outline.
Here is a video of the process.
Now you are done. Show off your woodburning skills and creativity to your friends and family.
This project was brought to you by Kenneth Medina (NYC-based artist and designer).
