Start by using the X Carve CNC from inventables to carve out the Superman logo in the wood to a depth of about 3mm.

Using a blowtorch melt the solder over the wood so it fills the cut, the wood with solder inlay is then taken to the belt sander where its sanded until the solder is flush with the wood, if there are any holes or gaps you can use a soldering iron to fill them.

To finish the piece use the blow torch to burn the wood for a really great looking effect.
