A pyrography burner can be used to burn freehand drawings and small patterns into wood, e.g. for marking or decorational purposes. Using a laser cutter is much easier for intricate designs.
Although many of these burners look like a soldering iron, please refrain from using one for soldering - remains of charred wood in your solder will not exactly improve the connections and remains of solder may taint the pyrography.
Health & Safety
- only solid untreated wood, cork or leather should be burned with this tool as other materials may release harmful fumes (see Wikipedia)
- make sure you have good ventilation even if "your" fumes are not especially harmful
- obviously, the burner gets hot and should not be touched while plugged in or shortly after
- use a metal stand to rest the tool when it is hot
- regularly check the fit of your tip - especially the screw-in tips of cheap models often don't stay in properly, but we won't invest in a fancier burner until we see how popular the technique is
Use
Sketching your design in pencil beforehand is always a good idea, and scribing it with a pricking awl may help you guide the burner along its lines.
Move the burner along its path until you achieved the desired look - the slower, the darker!
Example Project
This shelf was decorated with a pyrography burner:
Parkside PBMK 30 A1

This pyrography burner can be used to creatively draw and also as a small branding iron with ready-to-use symbols. We got this basic model with some accessories as a donation.
Available Accessories
- stand
- 12 different brass tips
