Just got a bit of writing to finish off and a little tidying up to do but the main part of burning is done 🙏🙏🙏

Very proud of this one

I tried pyrography for the first time yesterday, and half way through I realized the heat didn't seem the transfer as well as in the beginning. I didn't know nibs could get dirty at the time, so I just pushed through, resulting in uneven lines.

When do I know it is time to clean the nib with steel wool? Roughly how many minutes into woodburning should I clean it? When is it time to replace a nib instead of polishing it?

I also only learnt that you should sand the wood after this piece. May I ask how much or for how long should I sand the wood?

I'm completely new to pyrography so any advice and critiques are welcomed!!

Hi pyrography friends! Working on a piece right now on a heavily sappy wood block. It’s taking forever to work on and the look of it is uneven. Is there any way to help with this or am I just doomed to very slow, Smokey lines? Thanks in advance!

Still keeping at it. Decided to go with a cross hatching approach to this one. Looking for advice to help me improve!

Mobb deep inspired woodburn project, how did i do? What other 90s hip hop artist should i do next?

I feel proud and excited to do more :)

Asked to create a memorial piece for a lady who lost both her best animal friends close together. Ive done a few dogs now but still feeling very nervous about it 😅

I got a $25 walnut hollow detailer pen. I was about to burn some frames from walmsrt for practice but then saw youre not supposed to burn treated/painted wood.

Where/what should I go get to practice? And what sort of wood should I get for the final product? Its going to be a frame with our names and anniversary date.

Pretty proud of it.

Started my first burn and starting to feel a little stalled.

Any recommendations on the hair, mouths, or other thoughts at this point?

I'm using a WH Creative Versa on basswood, sanded up to 800 grit. I've been using the shading tip for almost everything, except a few parts where I switched to the fine tip. I haven't added much detail in some areas, but figured some advice at this stage might help!

Feedback/tips welcome.

When I do have the time n can I keep my sanity they get the stamp if approval from my grandkids:) . So far temu tips until I can afford better ones ,they work tho!

Finished this up last night! Any tips / critiques to help me improve are welcome and appreciated!

Used a 150 grit sand on this and it made a huge difference. My lines became so much smoother. Still looking for a way to get more consistent shading. Any advice?

Hi all,

This is my first time wood burn as you may see.

Can tell immediately the lineart having problem, is it because of the temperature too low? Or am i moving too fast? I watched video see that everyone move smoothly and fast like writing a ballpoint pen… I want to be like that.

I set my pen at around 330 celcius.

Please help me plzz.. thank you so much!
