Introduction: Pyrography (Woodburning)

By

Materials

  1. Silverline Woodburning Pen Set, I bought this from ebay for under £15 including delivery
    (but any woodburning pen will do just a great a job).
  2. Pencil.
  3. Image / photograph.
  4. A piece of wood (this is a cutting from a tree I had in the garden it is a Conifer or Thujopsis dolabrata).

Step 1: Sketch Your Image

Sketch your image onto the wood with your pencil.

Step 2: Burn Your Image

Draw over the pencil sketch with your woodburning tool , shading in as you go taking note of the shadows and highlight areas, the longer you hold the woodburning tool on the wood for the darker it becomes.
