Default What is the tool for burning words or designs into wood?

I might add, since I'm struggling to learn to sign my work, that practice
on
similar wood is very helpful...

It looks SO easy when my wife does it, but trying to get rounded or smooth
lines
without making dots and skips or having the grain deflect the tip is a
real
challenge...


Perhaps you could get her to "sign" your works for a small fee. ;-)


Exactly my problem, Lee!

She got into pyrography so she could put my name and the year and stuff on the
pieces, but my clients kept saying that "the artist should sign the work"..
*sigh*

BTW: The initial fee was for the digital burner, 2 pens and a LOT of tips.. :-]
