pyrography
Pyrography is the art of burning wood commonly used in rural areas in America. It is also a technique taught to many Boy Scouts of America . This technique is used to burn pictures, phrases, or designs into a piece of wood. This creative freedom allow the gift-giver to cater directly to the gift-recipient's interests.
The first four woodburn pieces are my own. I consider myself to be at a beginner's level for the artform. Many others however, are exceptional pyrography artists and do amazing things with the wood.
MAterials and cost
Woodburning tool $15-30
Wood $2
Carbon Paper $12/large roll
Stencil paper $7/notebook
Pencil/Pen $0
Tape $5
Although the Woodburning tool can range up to $30, this tools should last a lifetime. My 75 year old grandfather still uses his woodburning tool he bought decades ago.
The tool is a one time cost and a great investment.
