How to Transfer a Photograph Onto Wood

All you’ll need (aside from the photo and wood) is some gel medium and Mod Podge. You’ll want to use prints made with some kind of laser printer or copier rather than an ink printer.

Dr. Ted,

Would you know if this would would work on a less natural surface, such as a painted surface? 

I'm thinking the porosity of the wood must play into this somewhat....
