You should use a respirator and safety mask before you burn wood.
If you're unsure about which stencil to use, consider using a pencil. If you're using a pencil, trace your design onto the wood. You don't want to end with a melted stencil.

How To
How to drive a nails in wood
It is essential to pick the right size and style of hammer before you can drive a nail in wood. There are many types of hammers that you will find: claw hammers and sledgehammers; mallets; ball peen hammers; and hatchets. Each type has its strengths and weaknesses. A claw hammer is best for hitting nails or hard objects. However, it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly where the blow will land. Although a sledgehammer can be used to hit large areas quickly, it is too heavy to be useful for small tasks.
After choosing the right hammer, place your hand flat against the side of the head so that the handle rests comfortably in your palm. Grip the handle firmly, but don't squeeze it so tightly that you hurt yourself. The hammer should be held straight up with your wrist relaxed. You should then swing the hammer straight up, keeping your wrist relaxed. You should feel the impact of the hammer striking the nail. You can practice swinging the hammer with a block or wood until you feel the rhythm.
Once you are ready to drive the nail, place the hammer close to your body. To ensure that the nail is perpendicular on the surface of the wooden floor, position it. Keep your attention on the tip. Swing your hammer forward. Then follow through with the motions of the hammerhead. You can repeat this several times, increasing your swing speed. When you are confident with the technique, add power to your swings. Then, raise the hammer from your shoulder to bring it down. This way, you'll be able to put more energy behind your blows.
After you have nailed the hole, take the hammer off the nail. You can then remove the rest of the nails using a prybar or a screwdriver. To avoid splitting the wood, make sure the nail heads are not touching the board's surface.
