Iron-on graphics?

I am building a lectern for a friend. Nothing special in the construction or
materials, but I wanted to apply a large graphic to the front (an enlarged
logo). After weighing my artistic (non)capabilities, I decided to try an
iron-on transfer.

I printed the enlarged graphic onto iron-on transfer paper, then trimmed
excess paper as closely as possible to the edge of the graphic. I then
applied the transfer using as much heat and pressure as I could (the
instructions are for application to clothe; i.e.; T-shirts) but did not peel
off the backing. When cool, I stained the entire piece, being careful not to
brush into the exposed edge of the transfer paper, then peeled the backing
while the stain was still wet. After appropriate drying time, two coats of
clear varathane sealed the stain and the iron-on graphics. Really turned out
much better than I expected.

Thanks,
