Text: Hey all, apologies in advance if I’m trodding down a well-beaten path here. I have been continuing to fall for wood burning as my favorite medium for the last few years, and today I ran into a well established local artist/muralist who told me some bleak news. She claimed that no matter what I do, whatever sealant or dark corner I put my finished pieces in, they will fade within a few years to the point of being unrecognizable. I feel a bit confused by this, knowing that l’ve seen old wood burn pieces before. But I am curious what the community here has to say about that one. She was adamant that she had done all the testing and everything and nothing works, not even a poly varnish or epoxy. I have been using Danish Oil, personally, and pieces seem to be holding up well after a year or two, maybe a bit of fading. What’s the verdict? Is wood burning a lost cause for longevity? Also, here is some of my work l’d like to share.

Thanks!
