THE ART OF PYROGRAPHY

Pyrography, or Wood burning, is the free handed art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks, resulting from the controlled application of a heated object. The greek terminology translates to "writing with fire".
There are a variety of tools that can accomplish burn marks: professional or hobby wood burning machines, electric currents, hot knives, even a magnifying glass. I use a RazertipSK professional pyrography machine with interchangeable tips, which allows me to achieve fine details and a variety of shades. It's like using a calligraphy pen, but the tip of that pen is red hot and on wood rather than paper.
Along with burning the wood, it's possible to add colour with paint, stains, pencil crayons, and other medias as well as different finishes.
Everything available on my page is made and designed by me, wood burned and painted by hand.
