DIY Wood-Burned Charger Plates

In lieu of traditional charger plates, Robert handcrafted his own, personalizing each bamboo plate with a wood-burning technique he learned from his grandfather. “Every plate had the message ‘Gavins Est. 2015” burned into it with hot stamps,” Maria says. “Rob also burned various other expressions, like our wedding hashtag and "Maria hearts Rob." There were 10 different messages. Our guests enjoyed comparing messages when they arrived at their seats.”
