pyrography

Having never done it before, I have been asked to make two pens with initials on. How do you recommend I do this? Inlay, pyrography ? I have no access to lasers. Many thanks Alan

Hi Just thought I might share my latest venture

Hi I have been practicing Pyrography as well as turning. Here is my first attempt.. at adding Pyrography to a platter made from Poplar. Kevin :banana:

Wood turned Attached with Proxxon and Saburrtooth donut wheel cutter Painted using acrylic paints A little pyrography End result... Great fun kevin :banana:

I wanted to have a go at another long pen. It didn't turn out as elegant as the one I had in my mind, but it I enjoyed making it. It's a tad under 10 inches long. The wood is lime with pyrography triangles which have been coloured in using Derwent inktense blocks, while the solid black is...

Has any tried Pyrography on a turned pen ? Could you then treat it with CA Glue and polish it ? I am thinking of getting a Pyrography kit for Christmas and wondered if it would work on pens.

Been playing with new toy Kevin :banana:

This is a prototype for a longer desk pen which will sit in a carved and pyrography holder. The wood is lime with a Bic pen insert and my pyrography design. Thanks for looking. George

Hi all... I fancy having a go at pyrography.... I do this Woodturning thing for fun... I don’t sell things or do this in any professional way so ...with that as a background.... What’s the recommendations for possible machine choice? Thanks in advance Kevin:banana:

Just finished this small pot. I turned it then relief carved the flowers and then added some pyrography texturing to give it some contrast. Thanks for looking George

DI did one of my pyrography designs on a Zeta. George

I'm calling this a needle pot, but I will probably keep tooth picks in it. My lack of turning experience shows, but I enjoyed doing the pyrography. I finished it with CA, but will try melamine on my next effort. George

This is my first Zeta, made from black palmaria. Will be doing the next one in maple so that I can give it a quick singe with my pyrography iron.

Another Pyrography piece made with London Plane and is 5 1/2" X 2 3/8"

Has anyone out there incorporated pyrography with there pen making.

If signing your name on the bottom of a turning at what stage of the finishing process does one do it
