carvingonwood.com Transferring the design to the wood that you want to carve can be one of the easiest things to do or one of the hardest. There are many different ways to accomplish this task. When using a high speed engraving hand piece the speed of the tool works in your favor.
The high speed burrs slide through the pattern and wood with ease. This opens up some options that may not be present with other carving tools. You could apply the design to the wood with a bit of spray adhesive, and it would stick just fine, but there is a better way.
The use of transfer film makes seeing the wood, aligning the design, applying the design, and transferring the design a snap. Transfer film is a semi-transparent mylar that has a adhesive side to it. The benefit of being able to see through the film is that you can be 100% accurate with your placement.
If you get the placement wrong you can pull the film up without destroying the design and realign it to your satisfaction. Once the film is where you want it applying a light pressure will keep it in place throughout the design transfer process.
Using a bur that comes to a point you can lightly score the surface cutting through the design and marking the surface of the wood or material you are carving. Once you have traced the design using the bur you are ready to remove the stencil film.
Removing the stencil film can be done in any way that you feel comfortable. Finger nails or tweezers are two of the safest ways to remove the film. If you are at all uncomfortable using a razor blade to remove the film do NOT do it.
Transferring the design to the wood could not be more simple and fun. Once you have removed the film you are ready to begin removing the background.

If you want to follow along with me as I carve the Daisy be sure to head over to the website where you can copy the full sized image of this Daisy Project.
On my website I detail my thoughts at each step along the carving journey to help you understand the carving process more fully. You can also comment on the videos in the comments section, receive replies, and read what other people have to say.
If you are watching this video before all of the videos in the series are uploaded to KZitem -- stay tuned. Each week I will be uploading more videos in the series, as well as, additional videos related to power carving in general and relief power carving specifically.
Be safe, have fun, and enjoy every minute you spend power carving.
Throughout this video series you will here music at one point or another. All of the music heard is from an amazing artist names Josh Woodward. He is the ultimate "One Man Band" creating all of his music himself in his personal studio.
