Information

      This engraving project features a detailed hedgehog design applied directly onto natural wood. By engraving onto the raw surface instead of a base plate, the natural texture and grain of the wood enhance the final result. The design blends beautifully with the organic material, creating a unique decorative piece for nature lovers.
