This is the image of the Marco Cat on a piece of white paper. The dots around the edges are where I've burnt and melted the paper onto the polished wax block. The draftsman's lead holder at the center right of the picture has an awl shaped bit in it. The tip of the awl is almost sharp-just rounded enough to not catch the paper and rip it. By tracing the outline of the design on the paper, the design is transferred to the block of wax.
