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.

I love the Pics of Your Shop Jack, a lot of similar tools and some old school stuff.
I am a 4th generation woody and I have some if my Great Grandfarhers,Grandfathers and all of my Fathers tools and Equiptment.
Plus all of my own machinist and woodworking tools I bought new or at yard sales.
I am a just Tool junkie and shop is a bit crowded.
When I am working it's in complete disaray.
Well I say I've more tools than brain cells at this point.
Because of all the 55 years with the finishing it's off gasses.
I can't smell it much but when wisitors come in and they are taken back by the woodworks aroma.
My Dad had 70 years of the same.
I hope to come close on either side of that.
He told me once "when You come home with all Your fingers, It was a good day".
Still it's fun and "I'll go in the saddle" saw horse.
At least I hope!
