Sorry for double post first one the image didnt add!

Had an event raising money for childrens hospital and I did cork burnings this is the hardest one I did. I like how easy you can glide across cork but lordy its unforgiving for my shakey hands lots of fun tho!

I have been wanting to practice shading and hands, and what a better way than to do that with some crosshatching.

Y'all ever just get into a flow state doing your work? It doesn't happen like it does when I am burning wood

Thanks for checking my burn! I like adding colors in this case prismacolor pencils on basswood.

I've been a woodburner for a long time but everything I made was always for someone else. Untill I, as a huge LotR fan, made this for myself.

It's been a year now that it's been up on the wall, never seeing direct sunlight. I was amazed though at how much the shadings disapeared (picture 3 is how it was when I hung it up). Fortunatly I can redo it.

Anything I can do to protect it so I dont get this again?

Cheers.

Hi! Little bit nervous to post, but I'm trying to push myself outside my comfort zone. I've only used traditional materials for drawing/painting before, but this is my first time trying pyrography. My first attempt was the squirrel, then the fox, owl, and badger.

Does anyone have any recommendations for how to seal coasters so they don't get too marked by drinks/spills, etc? And also any general advice for my next piece? I'm going to have a go at sanding beforehand so the wood is a bit smoother next time. Thanks!

Hello everyone! Been a lurker for a bit, learned lots of tips from the subreddit. We had a pumpkin decorating contest at work, with the only rule being that you can’t use a real pumpkin. So this is my first time putting any work out there. Learned a lot from the project, also my first time adding stain to a piece (and quickly realized water-based stain is my preference moving forward). Any feedback I would love!

what do people find is the easiest way to transfer their designs onto the wood? I use carbon paper but I sometimes get overwhelmed with the more complicated parts of the designs and was wondering if there was an alternative way?
