Default Writing words in wood = pyrography?

Nova brought next idea :

Hello all.

I want to create a few presentation awards for fellow thespians and need a
way to write on the wood words along the lines of "Presented to ....."

My penmanship has degraded further from it's sorry state pre computers
with the advent of the laser printer, so I doubt I would be happy with
burning the text freehand using the pyrography tools I've seen.
Further, I don't need to burn the text on there as long as it can be seen
and read once hung on the wall.

Short of getting someone more skilled than I to do it or affixing a brass
plate, what are my options?

TIA

Have you thought about using a laser engraving service?


no, not really, I wanted to do it myself.
