I did a pure carnauba wax finish on a bass drum that a friend/colleague
had burned in the way you describe. It was very artistic work. I'll
see if I can find a picture of it.

Here's the burning technique I use for these projects.

My favorite woodworker, TV Star, Entertainer, Buckin' Billy Billy Ray
Smith (not really any of these things, he's actually a chainsaw guru,
and has hundreds of youtube videos on cuttin', climbin' and even buckin'
trees) He also sells axes and burns all his ax handles. He also burned
his living room floor, and all the walls and floors in his new shed.

Anyway, he has videos of burning his new shed floors and walls, but I
couldn't find them but did find this one of him burning his living room
floor. If you like cuttin' and buckin' this guy is awesome. BTW, he is
also a drummer, sort of, and plays the harpoon really well. He plays
with his mom, who is a singer and they are pretty good. A lot of his
videos have his or their music in them.

Here is a video I found of him burning his floors in the house. Also
has some drumming in it, but 90% of his videos are him cuttin' wood.
Find some of him climbing and you should enjoy him. The more you watch
him, the better it gets. Note all his drums at the end of the video.

I watch youtube on TV instead of TV and he is generally better than
anything on regular tv. He puts out at least a video a day... He is not
an instructor in the least, just loves what he's been doing
professionally his whole life, and it comes through in his videos.
After watching 10 or 20 of them he becomes a friend you love watching.
