A few interesting pyrography techniques and woodturning drink coasters

 



























Tools and materials I propose:

Pyrography Wood Burning Tips

Pyrography Pen Wood Burning Kit

Soldering iron

Alcohol based markers

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit

Bandsaw

Buffing kit


In this video I make a few drink coasters out of basswood. This was a nice excuse to try out a few simple but really cool 

wood burning techniques. 


I first turned my coasters on the lathe. I got three coasters from one blank. This was mostly bowl gouge work. 


I cleaned the bottom with my bowl bottom jaws. I made the bottom a bit concave so the coaster can sit nicely on a flat surface. 


In the first technique I created shading by adding burned dots. I set my burning station at a high temperature and went for it. To color my work I used ink based markers. They work really nice on wood and are very easy to use. 


For the second technique I changed the tip on my wood burner and added shading with a more traditional manner. I went slow here so I reduced the temperature of my burner. When colouring I like to leave the wood as my highest light. Especially on basswood this works really nicely.


On the third technique I used the classic soldering iron type of burner. By changing tips I tried to give different textures to my work.


I finished all my coasters with carnauba wax on my buffing wheel.


I am really happy with these three new techniques. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
