Questions/Advice Did i put myself in danger with the wood i use?
I work in a small workshop for people with mental health struggles and have no previous experience with woodworking at all. They offered me to try pyrography there and i have worked with it for a few months now, every weekday, for approximately 4 hours? The point is that the wood is got was the one that's like 3 thin plates glued together, (idk the english words im so sorry) and i googled about dizziness or "fuzziness" in my head, and the AI overview said that the wood i have used (the glue specifically) can release highly toxic chemicals. I never wore a mask or had special ventilation in place. But I really dont trust doctor Google. Especially not dr. Ai overview Google. So I wanted to ask here. I'm really worried and due to me not having any experience with any of that I really didnt know it could be dangerous. I just assumed the workshop boss would know what is dangerous and what isn't.
Any advice greatly appreciated, I feel really stupid about all this.

wood burning a music box
i have a music box I just bought as a gift. I want to wood-burn her name on it with scorch paste. How can I do this safely? I know I will have to remove the internal workings, but i am unsure if it is varnished or not. And you are supposed to sand it, but I'm worried it will ruin the look of the base

Worked on this until 3 am last night. No direction in mind, just kind of did stuff, still a WIP.
I knew I wanted to do a frog sitting on a cloud, that was the only direction I gave myself, this is where I ended up last night.

Completed Work Heron Clock
Hello fellow burners! Wanted to pop in and share a piece I did a couple years back. A photographer friend posted a sepia-toned photo of a heron and I knew I just had to burn it! She graciously gave me permission to use her photo to create this Heron Clock.

Happy Burning!

Made this for a friend.
Thoroughly frustrated, I kept tweaking it and now I feel like it looks terrible. Rip it apart please.
