When I was in Junior High, LONG, LONG ago we did it by gluing a picture face down on the wood letting it dry thoroughly, probably over night then carefully wetting the pictures back and gently scrubbing the paper off, probably under water. It is hard to get it to come out well that way though. You have to be sure that the picture front is evenly covered with glue or you could have holes in the picture when you scrub the paper off. Make sure the ink on the picture is waterproof of course.

There are probably better, "specia"l glues and stuff now, I would look it up on the internet under mod poge or decopage and see if there is a better way. Good luck! Let us know how it turns out!

It might be easier to just decopage or put it under polyurethane. I have seen that done and it looks really nice!
