Pyrography

I have started doing pyrography.  I had all the equipment but got mad at myself one day and put it away.  Anyway like anything you want to do well you should practice.  Mostly I want to work on gourds but have been doing some other things for practice.

This is a scrap gourd (it was cracked) that I was playing with.

These are a couple of small pine pieces

.

Small pine box that I had on hand.  Everyone told me pine did not burn well and they are very right.  This box especially.  It had hard spots and soft spots.  So it wouldn't burn and then it did.  Such a mess but it was fun.  I also used a little colored pencil for some light color.
