Hello again, Lets talk about some of the tools you will need to create your pyrography art work. First and foremost you will need a good power unit. I use a #2000 Colwood unit. It has a temp control that is very sensitive that allows it to heat up fast and cool down fast. When purchasing this unit you will also need a tip holder and a tip. colwood offers many tips for many applications. I will go into that in another blog. (however if you need to know sooner , E-mail me and we shall dicuss it.) You can find many good burning units on the market, I purchased mine from http://www.oaktreesupplies.com/.
I am a big fan of burning on water color paper, but most pyrography is done on wood, or gourds, I have seen some on leather but not much.
I also suggest buying a tip puller, if you use more than one tip, so you don't damage the tip when changing from one to another.
So until next time, may I suggest you BURN your art for fun and profit.

And if you are prone to laying your tool down without turning it off, my I recomend some type of a holder.
