Easy to use Pyrography Equipment

Pyrography is decorating wood or other suitable materials with burn marks using a heated poker or pen. This is an intriguing hobby which is also known as wood burning or pokerwork. A pyrography pen which looks very much like a soldering iron has a solid brass tip, heated by electricity  and operating at a fixed temperature. Buying pyrography equipment from online retailers gives you the opportunity to use versatile machines in:-

• Arts and crafts in schools
• Rehabilitation centres
• The souvenir industry
• Furniture industries
• Hospitals

There are dual application pokerwork units to buy along with dual handle pokerwork units. These pyrography tools use wire-nib burners which make precise wood burning detail as well as having variable heat control.

How to use a pyrography pen

It’s so easy to use a pyrography pen. Just press it against a wood canvas for instance, holding and lifting it at different intervals. If you keep the pen on the wood for long periods, it makes a darker and more expansive mark. The shading creates both texture and depth in the work.

Once you get the hang of it you can make beautiful works of art which at one time used to be known as “Fire Needle Embroidery”. Do your own thing when using a pyrography pen to make a statement and enjoy this ever-changing art form. Why not incorporate some of the following into your work:-

1. Wood oils
2. Stains
3. Paints

Suppliers who advertise many products via the internet offer handheld cutters, table units, bench top units as well as pyrography and heat cutting equipment.
