One of the most useful attributes of this group is learning about what
works and what doesn't. Last night I wanted to put a decorative burn
around a bowl that was nearing completion. Being somewhat of a
scrounger, I dug out an old guitar string (#4 classical for those
really interested). Perhaps 10 seconds is all it took for the brass
(bronze?) to burn through leaving nothing but the fabric interior.
Maybe the first, second, or third string (accoustic) would fare
better.

Did it leave anything decorative?
