 I attached a bolt to the side of a router dremel attachment, thinking the smaller tool would give me more control, but I didn't have good success here either. Though I got nice clean grooves cut in scrap wood when freehanding, I couldn't get reliable results when drawing big circles. It was too easy for the pivot to jam slightly, or the dremel to tip, and ruin the groove. I attached a bolt to the side of a router dremel attachment, thinking the smaller tool would give me more control, but I didn't have good success here either.

 +These photos show two coats of varnish atop the ink.
  
 I think my solution to this will be ensuring my varnish sandings are sufficiently gentle, and perhaps re-marking lines if they start to fade during the subsequent varnish layers. Overall I think this technique looks great and it's likely the one I'll be using on the final board. I think my solution to this will be ensuring my varnish sandings are sufficiently gentle, and perhaps re-marking lines if they start to fade during the subsequent varnish layers.
