Pyrography Pen Wood Burning 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.
