As I have decided to take my work a step further and produce designs onto wood I realise that I have the extensive opportunity to choose from such a wide range of wooden products to use.
Some of my favourites are:
- Bowl
- Cup
- Serving paddle board
- Tray
- Wall art piece
- Frame
- Boxes
- Coasters
I think the most effective for this project would be a serving paddle board as well as key-rings and maybe cups. I believe that a selection of these three products offer a wide variety in terms of items to buy as they are not similar in any way. Because I would also like to use white ink/paint to illustrate my designs onto the wood I think my best option would be to go for a darker wood as this would enhance the effect of the white. 
The wood shades that would be ideal would be either vermont maple, english oak, coffee or american walnut.
