Handmade Christmas decoration using a wood burning tool
Wood burning, also known as pyrography, is an art form where you use a glowing hot pen to create letters or illustrations on wood. The only two ingredients you need are a wood burner and a piece of wood.
How does wood burning work?
Wood burning works by applying heat to lightly burn the surface of a wooden object. The burning process creates a darker colour on the areas where you press with the wood burner, allowing you to depict text and illustrations.
The essentials
You don't need much to get started with wood burning. Specifically, you should have the following essentials:
- A wood burning pen
- The piece of wood you want to work on
- Electricity
How to choose the right Wood Burning Pen
A good wood burning pen makes the wood burning process much more enjoyable, safer, and fun. The differences between wood burners mainly lie in the extra features, such as the tips.
The wood burning pens from Vaessen Creative come standard with 5 different attachments:
- A universal tip
- A tip for shading
- A tip for scripting
- A tip for fine lines
- A tip for soldering (which you can also do with our wood burner!)
