In this pyrography wood burning tutorial episode, I am going to give you 6 tips to help get smooth burn results. Then I will demonstrate the tips with an example burn. During that burn I will recap the information, and provide some information for extending the burn area. Then I will show you how to switch pen tips and continue the burning. Lastly I will show you how to fix some common problems using either scraping or targeted reburning.
I do have a written version of this tutorial available on my website: https://wp.me/p8j0lZ-6dp
I try to present the information in a slightly different way on the blog. Plus, for some having written instructions helps with the learning process.
