Etsy Find: Woodburned Cork Board by Cabin + Cub

Here's an idea we haven't noticed before: woodburning cork to add design to a plain cork board. We love it.

The Vancouver, B.C.-based designer/crafter has thought of everything -- even the included pins are woodburned to match: birds for the board, eggs (cracked and whole) for the pins.

Genius. $30 here.

Funny. At the Christkindlmarket this past Sunday, an artisan was woodburning names into some wooden crafts. I smelled the smoke from a few booths down and the whole experience reminded me of when I had my own woodburning set when I was a kid. This would be so much fun to do yourself with your own stencils and designs.

The tool is kind of like a heavier duty soldering iron. Very easy to use. And it smells like BBQ when you use it!

the DIY column at design*sponge offered something similar a few weeks ago. makes you want to get a woodburner and go to town.

Awesome! I love the board (not so much the push pins though) and would LOVE to have like a skyline etched into the bottom
