Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] etching on wood

I am also toying with the idea of first etching on a
metal plate (relief or emboss) then heating the wood
with the etched plate, hoping the protruding area will
then be burnt darker. Any opinion or suggestions, eg.
on how I can translate a scanned image into an etched
metal plate
