Pyrography is a craft to burn a design on a clean piece of
wood. This activity is great if you like to draw since the two of them are very
similar.
You need a pyrography pen and a clean piece of wood to create your own
piece.
You only need very little tools to start doing this. With
many types of pens and woods in the market, it is important that you pick the
correct ones.
There are 3 types and they are wire-nib burners, laser cutters,
and solid-point burners.
Wire-nib burners have regulated temperature controls and the
nibs are interchangeable on some models.
The solid-point burners work like
soldering irons because they have a tip that is used to burn the wood.
Laser
cutters can scorch the wood instead of cutting it.
You should also be careful on the type of wood you choose.
Never use treated wood as this wood is treated with special chemicals.
You may
also want to obtain some carbon paper. Carbon paper allows you to draw your
desired design on it. You can then use it to trace the design onto the wood.
Using Carbon paper also allows you to make duplicates of your piece.
