Pyrography
« on: December 08, 2012, 11:14:16 am »
Another hobby that uses wood.  I have used by pyrographic (burning) pen on my wildlife carvings but sometimes, for a break, I like to make pictures.  Both of these pieces were inspired by drawings in a Lean to Draw with Pencils book.  The dock is on a piece of maple 8" X 12" and the roses are on some birdseye maple I had around the shop (7" X 10")

Nice Mike.  Beautiful work.  My wife is starting, trying testing etc wood burning and she was also impressed. She has some irons, tips and some misc stuff including a couple of books.  Now all she has to do is find the time to get started.  Thanks for showing  us your work/art.

Very nice Mike!!!  I do some woodburning myself.  I use a Razortip unit with multiple pens.  I use it mostly on my custom hiking sticks and have done some of it on the handles of my custom hunting knives.

Your work is super good!!!!!!

Those both look great. I have only done one wood burning and that was just some lettering on a cabinet I made for my wife. I have been thinking of adding to my hobby. One thing I love about this site is all the great ideas which can inspire us. Thanks for sharing and for telling us what wood you used. Very nice work.

Beautiful Mickie, I also do Pyrography.  I usually use scrollsaw patterns or different patterns I find on the internet.  I couldn't draw a straight line if my life depended  on it.  lol.

Don Rob was kind enough to do a pattern of a picture of my Wimmie.  Here are the two side by side.
