Guitars, skateboards, if it's made of wood-I want to turn it into art. Help me perfect my craft by improving the quality of my canvases

My project is about woodburning.  Pyrography.  It can be done on any number of objects, but I am particularly interested in doing it on acoustic guitars.  The ones I have been able to do in the past, while not unplayable, have been more decorative than functional.  I want to change that.  I want to put my work on guitars that even serious players would be glad to play.  I'm tired of skimping on the quality of my canvas.  That's where you come in.  I hope you dig what I'm doing, and I appreciate any help you'd like to lend.  Thanks!

For examples of guitars/skateboards/other work I've done, you can visit my website: http://kimmybessart.weebly.com/
