Burning Old Wood For Watch Photography

Here's something a little different! I recently got into finding old pieces of wood and using them for my photography on instagram. My friend showed me how to do it and I've been hooked ever since. I figured I'd make a happy little video about it.

First and foremost, BE SAFE. Know how to use a torch! Use safety googles and only do this outside and away from flammable materials (aside from the wood of course). Keep a fire extinguisher handy or at least a water hose. Use a facemask. Do this at your own risk! I will not take responsibility for any mishaps!

Here's more information. Don't be afraid to burn the crap out of the wood. Even if you feel you did it too much, it'll still be beautiful! Experiment with things. Use wire brushes, sand paper and stains to achieve different looks. Also, don't forget to wipe off the carbon after you do your burning.

I'm still a noob at this but I'm sure I'm going to create some amazing pieces for my photography in the future :) You can too!

The first time I ever worked on something to make it nicer was when I was about eight years old. My mom had gotten a gold 1982 BMW 320i. It was in pretty good condition and looked old but I fell in love with it. I took it upon myself to make it nice again. I spent hours after school waxing it, polishing up all the bits, cleaning the interior and wheels. When I was done, it looked freakin' fantastic. My mom was super happy.

I had hoped that by the time I was ready to get my driver's license, my mom would have wanted to give it to me. She didn't. She painted it red and sold it then got a new BMW. Waah, waaah, waaaaaah.

From then, however, I developed a desire to make things look better than they are and thus began my life of never leaving things alone :p.
