The wonderful world of pyrography...
Pyrography
is the art of decorating wooden objects by burning designs into the wood using
a headed point. Subtle effects can create a picture in sepia tones, or strong dark strokes
can make a bold, dramatic design. It is also know as pokerwork or wood burning.
What Can You Do With Pyrography?
There is really no limit as to what can be used as a subject matter. Portraits, people, nature, animals,
scenery, birds, cars, you name it. Both colour and monochrome pictures can be depicted on wood.
Commissions
If you would like me to make a piece specially for you, I can be contacted via email or you can fill out this brief
commission form and email it. This is merely an enquiry process and you are under no obligation what so ever.
I can also work from your photographs or images. Photos must be clear and large enough for me to figure out all
the details. If you send me a photo, I will scan it and return the original to you.
Digital image are preferred and it is helpful if they are at 300dpi or higher.
Woods Used in Pyrography
A variety of woods are available - including basswood, plywood, poplar, burl, pine, cedar etc.
Working on your own wood or wooden product can be discussed. One project I have wanted to do
for along time is a set of kitchen cabinets with a series of pyro images on the doors but haven't
had that opportunity yet.
