Wood burning by hand vs by laser

I know the guy that did this one. He did a Banksy one that was really cool.

I've played around with it but just need a good wood burner and patience.

Be careful with setting up your own. From what I've seen, you're using part(s) from a microwave.

In college instead of a paddle or anything like that, my fraternity pledge class cut down a tree and burned our name, pledge class, etc into the wood as a pledge plaque. It came out really nice. Still have it in my office today.
