Getting Started with Wood Engraving on a Guitar Body
- Fix the guitar body or neck firmly before working.
- Sketch the design with a marker directly on the wood.
- Use slow, controlled passes with the cylinder wood carving burr to remove material.
- For aesthetic effects, you can engrave a shape and then fill with grain filler and dye (e.g., gold dye powder) to create a contrasting inlay-like look.
