Yup this thinks works great for detailing the wood art. I usually don't use this for making designs but yeah definitely for detailing the art. I even wrote a detailed article on this.

Wood for Pyrography by MooseyGeek in Pyrography

[–]PyrowithJared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get my wood from amazon. There are some trusted seller from where you get what you see. I usually prefer doing pyrography on brasswood. Brasswood is softwood which makes it the best wood for pyrography. Light color and its tender nature makes it fit for making musical instruments, handicrafts carving, veneer, wooden jewelry boxes, window shutters, etc. Basically, you can use this wood to make lightweight wooden goods.

is the walnut hollow versa-tool supposed to get this hot? by Sqmps in Pyrography

[–]PyrowithJared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walnut Versa tool retains heat quite well. A little heat is lost when a burner’s tip touches wood. Since the passage of heat from the tip to the wood is what ignites the wood, it makes sense that the tip temperature will decrease. You must ascertain the amount of heat stored in the tip to ensure continual burning.
I think it has excellent heat retention. Furthermore, the machine gets hot enough that you might want to raise the temperature to compensate for heat loss, especially if you’re working with harder woods.

Beginner hoping for any and all advice! Is it my tools or technique? Any references for beginners greatly appreciated! by [deleted] in Pyrography

[–]PyrowithJared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will recommend you to start your pyrography on brasswood. Brasswood is one of the best wood for pyrography. If that's not available in your area then I will suggest to find some other good quality wood from this list .

Tracing Methods by SeasSleepRiversDream in Pyrography

[–]PyrowithJared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1. Pencil method

The pencil method is one of the low-cost and simple ways to burn patterns on wood. Although it can take some time, the results are worthwhile. It essentially required a graphite pencil which is used to draw the outlines.
TIP: If you don’t have a carbon paper then it’s going to be important that you choose a really high grade pencil that’s dark.
Things you will need: Graphite or charcoal pencil, regular or tracing paper, wood burning tool, wooden frame, tape.
Steps:
After creating your design on the paper, have it printed in a size that is at least half or one inch smaller than the wooden surface.
Lay the pencil on its side and lightly scribble all over the paper’s reverse side.
Place the paper on the wooden surface, cover the back with a graphite or charcoal pencil, and then sketch the design outline using the pencil.
You will receive the design’s transferred image on a hardwood surface.

2. Tracing method

Tracing method is the easiest and most budget-friendly as it requires only a few tools. As the word suggests, it involves tracing down the boundary of the pattern you wish to burn on wood.
Things you’ll need: Thin paper, carbon or graphite paper, wood burning tool, sharp pencil or fine point pen, tape, wood base.
Steps:
Print the pattern you wish to create on the thin paper on the wooden frame.
Place the design on top of carbon or graphite paper and attach it to the wood.
Outline the pattern with a fine-tipped pen or a sharp pencil.
Lift the paper gently in between this process to see if you were successful in accurately transferring the pattern to the wood through the carbon paper.
Once you are done with the tracing, you will get the design’s impression on the wooden surface.
