Artist's Comments

I don't know why I haven't submitted this before...

This is my first ever attempt at pyrography (woodburning). I was pretty pleased with how it turned out.

The colour is actually wood stain. I finished it with a clear coat of varnish. It really looks so much better in person... The colours are far more natural. I was kinda retarded when I scanned this and actually put the block of wood on the scanner bed. *laughing*

Another thing to note: Because I am learning still, this was burned into pine. The pine sap kinda messed up the quality of the stain in some areas. It's not really something you'd notice, but eh...

The piece is 6" wide, 12" in length. I hope you like it! I do have more pieces in progress, so... :)

Also, I'm not marking this as mature -- but if someone has an issue, let me know.

Balsa, ash, willow... Pine is alright if it's really dry. There are several types of wood that don't have a sticky sap.

I gotta say that even though the pine sap was a problem -- burning it smelled soooo goooood. *laughing*

Thank you for the compliment! Blessings and :hug:!!!

Thank you! Woodburning is really awesome... You can buy wood from places like Michael's or other craft stores, as well as the tool for it. It's a "knife" of sorts (some of them have a blunt point instead of a knife) that heats up red-hot. You just draw on the wood like you would with a pen on paper. The best thing to do is draw your design on the wood and just trace over it with the woodburner. From there, you can do light shading and such. The woodburners sold at Michael's and other craft stores are around $20 and are about the size of a large screwdriver. I find them to be kinda clumsy, but they are great for starting out and finding out if it's your "thing" or not. Technically, you can start learning to do woodburning for about $25. They actually sell kits at craft stores that have the woodburner, patterns to practice with and some wood for $20 to $40. Then, you just use some woodstain to give the wood some colour and a clear coat to protect your work! It's a pretty nifty artform! :)
