This is 2 weeks in, after just messing around trying different heat settings and tips.

Hi all! I wanted to get your opinion on some of my work. I used to do a fair amount of pyro and I’d like to get back into it. I’ve made lots of gifts for some folks in my life, and have also done a few commissions.

I haven’t had the time to pyro in a while, but I’d like to get back into it, and I’m considering opening up an Etsy shop to maybe sell some of my pieces and do some custom stuff.

What are your thoughts on some of my work? I know it’s far from perfect (I’m by biggest critic!), but I’ve been encouraged by some family and friends and I wonder if it’d be worth it to try and make something more out of this hobby.

I’d love to get your genuine thoughts on both my art, as well as the reality of selling pyrography on Etsy.

TIA :)

Bulls with Cowboys herding them. Burned on genuine mahogany with hoof prints and dust clouds. This is part of a turkey call that I am building for a benefit show. Someone mentioned a few days ago that ot looked like a pencil sketch, (now its not)

Hello! I started doing some wood burning a few weeks ago. This is one piece I just recently finished. I would love any tips you all could give me! I’d truly appreciate it!

(I also just made this account for my art and to see other people’s art!)

I know it’s been done before and even recently on this sub but I’m doing my take on it. Map from the books. Blew it up and replaced most of the wording so it is readable at scale. Moved some words and trees around in photoshop, now I’m here. (Under the tracing references isn’t done yet, I’m debating a border)

Привет всем!

Я хотел показать вам несколько плакатов, над которыми я недавно работал.

Я изготавливаю их в своей мастерской в Харькове, Украина, с помощью пирографии с ЧПУ на березовой фанере. Я настраиваю температуру и скорость, чтобы получить действительно темные, высококонтрастные черные тона и мелкие детали линий —, такие как тени на изделии STALKER и текстуры на дизайнах Хэллоуина / Пин-Апа.

Поскольку я хочу поделиться своей работой с людьми за пределами Украины, мне бы очень хотелось услышать ваше мнение!

- Какой из этих стилей вам нравится больше всего?

- Как вам глубокий темный контраст?

- Есть идеи для классных постеров к играм или фильмам, которые я могу попробовать сжечь в следующий раз?

Спасибо, что заглянули!

Spruce is nice and light and I thought it would be cool to work with. I was wrong. Tough ridges on the growth rings make for in-even burning. Also, my cookie split in two while routing the motor sooooo a week later and 4 pours of super clear 2.0 Liquid Glass (and some staples in back) got this bitch back in line and telling time. I do like the labradorite gemstone in the eye of this Royal (6x6) bull elk. Inspiration comes from Jackson county, Zirkal wilderness area. Burn one down!

Wood burning / paint

Can I stain over this tung oil with gouache or watercolor?

Im wood burning on bass wood and treated it with tung oil and decided I want to add another value… Would putting water down gouache paint work or would there be a bad reaction with the oil/compromise the wood somehow? Same question for water color or watered down acrylic.

(Also this is only my fourth piece! Really enjoy the process)

Complete noob when it comes to this. Started off as something silly and its becoming a cool hobby.

What a good machine/kit to get? Im looking for something $100 or less, preferable with dual pens but not 100 percent necessary. Im just afraid of getting a cheap one only to learn a much better one was only 20/40 dollars more.

Also what's a good material to use? Is there a good type of wood thats better than others, what are good dimensions, things to avoid etc.

Currently rocking the walmart $20 special. Scrap wood from work, sometimes sanded sometimes not.

Thanks in advance!

I'm very happy with this little guy. Lots of practice and learning to do, but as someone that's never been good at art I'm really pleased.

I recently got to vend at a Halloween themed market, had a great time. These are some of my favourite pieces I created leading up to it.
