after searching i find a few different methods to get images on wood

seems to be a gel that is used to extract the pigments which then
adheres to the wood then the image on the wood is fixed with some
other coating like a poly spray


anyone done this and have any hints

only considering just a few colors and nothing hi res





Get yourself some Lazertran waterslide decal paper for inkjet
printers, print your design, soak the transfer to remove it from the
backing paper and let it dry. It will dry with a white backround. Then
use "real turpentine" and paint the wood with a good wet coat. Place
the transfer image side up on the wood, removing all bubbles. Leave
for several hours. The transfer will "soak into" the wood.
Finish with any oil or spirit based varnish and the backing will be
totally invisible and the graphics will be "permanent"
