Pyrography – How to get started

Mushroom Coaster 06

Coaster 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in)

This project took me 2 hours to complete

I used:
• Spoon Shader
• Ball Point

To finish the piece I used:
• 1 coat of Universal fixative
• 1 coat of Sealer
• 3 coats of Clear Acrylic Varnish
(I recommend that you leave it dry 24 hours between coats, depending on the moist of the place (country you live)

Mushroom Coaster 02

Coaster 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in)

For the mushroom cap I used a Ball Stylus modelling tool (several sizes).
You can also use a Rotary Tool for this. It will require less strength and you'll get a more pronounced result.
Also used a white Caran D'ache watercolour pencil.

The three "P" of pyrography

1st – Patience
2nd – Persistence
3rd – Practice

Start with small and simple projects.
Practice as much as you can. Practice makes perfect.
Don't be scared of making mistakes. Everyone does.
If you have a darker area that shouldn't be there, try darkening the rest around that area if possible. It might be a solution. If not, try to sand it down. If not start a new project. lol.
Use temperature as low as you can and increase as you go to darker areas, or start with the darker areas and low the temperature as you go. Never start from the middle tones.

Brenn Peter Junior review

This is a simple review of my new woodburner.


The brand is Pyrography Station Brenn-Peter Junior electronic.


It costs 86,00 Eur.


You can find it here.


Works quite well. 

The temperature ranges from 450 º C to 750 º C. 
At around 600 ° C heat takes a complicated intensity for fingers. 
I recommend the use of some form of glove in case of being temperature sensitive. 

The tip heats up very quickly, which is great.

I'm very happy with it.
I think it's an excelent buy.

I also bought Transferpaper but the color is so light that you can't see it.
I don't recomend it!
It costs 3,55 Eur. and you can find it here.

Also bought some wood.
Bought two boards with bark wich cost 3,55 Eur. each.
It's smaller than i thought. The price seems quite attractive anyway.
You can find them here.

Also bought some Plywood, basswood wich comes in a set of three A4 pieces each.
It costs 5,95 Eur. each set of three pieces.
You can find it here.

Tip:

Do not start immediately thinking of selling your work. Start with small items. Can be gifts for people you like or even things for you. It also tastes good. This way you get an idea of your development. The pressure to do work for sale does not help much in our personal development.

Tip:

Woodburnig is not about strength. It is about temperature!
If we use too much pressure, the work ends up almost carved and with too much texture.
You can always use a fine grained sanding paper for wood to remove yellow discoloration wich  comes with too hot temperatures and standardize your work.

Tip:

Do not begin with something geometric. For this type of project is necessary to know the woodburner, the functioning of its temperature, to have a very steady hand and experience. I advise something more free hand. Start with a small and simple draw, so you have your project done quickly, become accustomed to the burner you are using and have quick results.
