Default Wood burning anyone??

I've been looking around but I'm not finding much on it here. I'm on a wood burning kick right now (I usually do exotic egg carving) and would really like to get a feel for the pulse of what's being done currently.

I'm new here so I don't have pics loaded but if you'd like to check out my blog, a birthday present jewelry box is there. I think it's pretty!!

Thanks a bunch!!

I've never done wood burning. I love your box! Very nice. I love the design.

Btw, your eggs are beautiful!

Default Thank you!!

Very nice of you to respond!! The box was sort of an experiment but I liked the way it turned out. I'm almost finished with another one so I figured that I'd make a blog entry on that one too.

Thanks again!

If you look in photo albums, you will find a lot of inspiration here.

I have some woodburned pieces in my wood album. There are also a couple of other folks here who do woodburned art.

Wow! You're really good Etcher. I used to woodburn, but I have no idea what's popular among woodburned art. Sorry I'' not much help. But I'd say what you're doing is great. It's very, very pretty!!!

Thanks for sharing your blog. I like the wooden box and the eggs so much. The etchings look so bright and vibrant. You're a very good etcher.

What about the wood burning? How do you do that?

Default Wood burning

Very nice artwork.
I've never tried it before but I am actually planning on it.
I thought about just using cheap soldering kit.

What do you use to burn it with ?

I am very impressed with your eggs! That is something I would love to learn. Wood burning is something that my Dad did when I was much younger. He had a wood burning tool and he would carve a design into a board then use the woodburning to color and shade it. Some of the "pictures" he made were fairly detailed and looked like sepia toned photographs. Unfortunately, I no longer have any of those.

On another note, I like your knitting board. I have a full set of plastic ones - both the flat panel ones and the round looms. There are different methods of wrapping so you can get different looks. I've made a couple of scarves as gifts. If you want an extra bulky scarf (snow scarf for a friend who was spending several months in Canada a couple winters ago) you can use a bulky yarn, but also lay a thick yarn across the stitches before you flip the row. I used Red Heart Yarn for the actual wrapping, but a a thick decorative yarn (about as big around as a Sharpie pen) to lay in the middle.
