Woodworkers interested in woodburning will build their skill level
through these three step-by-step projects for beginner, intermediate,
and advanced burners. They will learn how to prepare wood surfaces
before burning, how to transfer a design or pattern, and how to select
materials for burning, coloring, and finishing a project. Methods for
burning onto wood, leather, paper, bark, and antlers, are detailed
alongside ample pictures of pyrography on the various materials that
will inspire novice woodburners. Numerous techniques are also discussed,
including solar, negative, relief, engraving, torch, and hot wire. The
most difficult area for burners-how to realistically create animal fur,
feathers, and eyes-is addressed.
