At last, another update on the commission!
At long last the burning has begun. The picture has been transferred to the wood, the Hal Jordan Green Lantern has been put in the picture in place of the Green Lantern on the original comic, and the burning of the picture unto the wood is started. As you can see, I have Flash done but none of the others yet. This is a delicate part of the process. Once mistake and I can ruin the whole plaque by letting the burner skip, burn to long in one place, or any number of other mistakes. At this point it is more than just an eraser to fix the problem. Once it is burned into the wood, it requires a good sanding to fix mistakes. That means starting over at the beginning! This thing has been months in the making and I don't think the person who requested it wants to wait another six months.
