If you’re a crafter or an artist looking for something new and different, try pyrography. With this type of art, you use a heated instrument to burn images and words into wood.

• An introduction to pyrography and the tools you need to get started
• Expert advice on how to choose the right materials and how to create a safe working environment
• 20 projects, including a jewelry box, a cutting board, a wooden egg, a clock, and a gourd birdhouse
• More than 180 patterns–from animal and nature designs to borders and geometric and decorative shapes
• Techniques for shading, adding color, and sealing your projects
The power of your pyrography imagination is just between your fingertips and Creative Woodburning can help you tap into your inspiration. Even if you’ve never done burning of any kind before, pyrography expert Bee Locke can show you a safe yet fun way to play with fire.

This is a MUST HAVE woodburning book!! It not only has many projects to do, but several patterns to choose from as well. It covers shading, troubleshooting and other topics in an easy-to-understand way, including pictures that help understand! I love that the projects show what nibs are actually used, and they are ones that most of us already have on hand, and the instructions are so easy to follow and understand. I love this book and am so happy I bought it.

Wonderful book for getting started and improving. Excellent explanations, illustrations, progressive progress suggestions, and patterns for use in learning and developing pyrography skills. This book was suggested by an instructor in a two-hour workshop and it helped me to make rapid progress. I have three other pyrography books, none of which are half as good as this one.

I discovered Bee on Instagram a few years ago, when I started looking into learning wood burning so I could customize guitars. Her art inspired me to push beyond what I had thought woodburning could be. She is brilliant!
This book is also brilliant. It covers everything you need to know to get started – from tools for transferring designs, burning, and cleaning your burning tips, to safety equipment that will protect your lungs (I wish I had known about this when I started! So important!). The projects are gorgeous, and range in difficulty from beginner to advanced. The templates on the back are helpful to get an artist started with enjoying the art, without also needing to learn drawing skills.
I’m so happy to have this book on my shelf, and look forward to sharing it with others who want to learn the art of pyrography.

Livre très instructif, l’anglais est un peu technique pour les non bilingue. Mais avec un dictionnaire on comprend les explications. J’ai effectué une revue de ce livre sur ma chaîne YouTube dédié à l’apprentissage de la pyrogravure qui s’appelle Apprendre la pyrogravure si vous voulez avoir une revue complète de ce livre.

Looks like something I can use in my scroll saw work in place of color. However I need to purchase some equipment.

سعره ممتاز وما توقعت انه فيه معلومات وشرح لكن تفاجأت فيه جدا ممتاز ابسط شي انه يشرح المشروع مع الابر المستخدمه في الحرق اضافه لنماذج متعددة يمكن الاستفادة منها خصوصا وقت التعلم
انصح به لكل مبتدئ بفن حرق الخشب 👍🏻

I have been purchasing pieces from Bee for 4 years. Her work has always been so incredible and so inspiring. I’m thrilled she decided to share her experiences with the world through this book. It is the BEST step by step guide I have come across since beginning my own woodburning journey. Simple bullet points, pictures of the nibs needed to execute, and amazing collection of templates. I would love to see more in the future should she find the time!
