Living in an apartment limits the challenge and creativeness of having outdoor hobbies.

Drawing the pictures on the wood before burning it, takes time and is not that easy because of the size.
Luckily I had some help from my wife, @bdmomuae
We both liked the idea and we liked spending some time creating these artwork together.
