Question:

how do i transfer an image onto a piece of wood?

long story short i'm trying to make an etching into something i made out of wood using a wood burneri believe the technical term is pyrography or somethinganyways i found a google image of what i want, but my art skills are lacking when it comes to drawing free handi can wood burn just fine, can't draw to save my life thoughso how do i get the image onto the board? mind you i'm just using this as a stencil for the burning so it doesn't have to be perfectunfortunately, everything i google comes up with perfect permanent solutions that use like parchment paper with inkjet prints or some kind of specialized tool i don't have or know how to get.

Answer:

Unless you plan on tracing the whole thing using carbon paper, you are stuck using permanent solutions that use like parchment paper with inkjet prints because why would people develop temporary for the very few people doing pyrography and needing transferDoesn't matter that it is permanent, you are going to burn through it, right? Parchment paper is available at any grocery store in the aluminum foil/wax paper baking supplies area.
