SteveM Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Did this woodburning for my daughter's bedroom(she has an ocean theme happenin')... It's on bamboo & matches one I had done previously for her... I figure it's a good use for a set of bamboo trays from Costco; here's the third one... Now, I gotta get inspired to use up some beautiful oak that Tungsten supplied me with; thanks again, Mike! Quote
agbff Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Really cool work man, Id like to get into that one day.... Quote
SteveM Posted November 2, 2009 Author Posted November 2, 2009 Nice pyrography!! Yeah, it's my 2nd favorite "-ography" that starts with the letter 'P'! Quote
bigalcal Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I've actually looked in to this hobby and bought a book on it from Amazon. I haven't tried it yet but I will be near a Michael's today!! A questiom.....Will it set off smoke alarms? Quote
beedhead Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Sweet!...Like em all, especially the bamboo tray... Cheers...Jeff.. Quote
Tungsten Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Nice work there Steve I'll bet your daughter shows them off to her friends. Quote
hydropsyche Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 The others are good but that Turtle is stunning. Quote

A questiom.....Will it set off smoke alarms? It's never set off our smoke detector, & ours is really sensitive; it goes off every time we broil something in the oven. Maybe it's because I breathe in most of the smoke....??? (Cough-cough...) I think there are some fancy-schmancy units out there that allow you to adjust the heat, etc.; I don't have one of those. Mine is a cheap unit I bought at a hobby store over 15 years ago; it has some inter-changeable tips, but almost always just use the wedge tip for everything. Can still do some fairly detailed work, though.... Quote
ÜberFly Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Steve, Do you trace the images onto the wood, use transfers or do you sketch free hand? Either way, nice work! P Quote

P Yeah,I have no discernible artistic talent ; I find a pic I think I can work with & transfer it onto the wood with carbon paper. Quote
hydropsyche Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Yeah,I have no discernible artistic talent I beg to differ. Quote
