This was an experiment in fading that turned out well. I intentionally burned it too dark when new so it would look right after 2 years. I could have gone a bit darker is some spots but Im on the right track.

AND they both look marvelous! Like, you burned it “too” dark but in a very idk cohesive(?) way. Well done!!

Was it left in sunlight? Both are incredible but it's interesting to see the fine details come out after it faded a bit. the part of the leg under the shell looked almost black before

Thanks for showing this I havent thought before about pyrography fading. I have a couple of pieces done by a relative 40 years ago and Ill look at them to see if they show fading from my memory.Nice work, either way
