Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for Better Results
Pyrography is the correct term for the technique more commonly known as “wood burning”. The term means the art of ‘drawing with fi re’. It is an ancient craft practiced throughout the world. Originally pokers were heated in fi res and created rather crude results. During the Victorian period the craft enjoyed it’s greatest popuarity. Victorian ladies developed various tools such as fi ne steel rods similar to knitting needles and heated them in a fi re or over a spirit lamp, allowing them to work more skillfully and create fi ne designs. The rods would ose their heat quickly and have to be returned to the fi re for reheating, making the process slow and tedious
Today Pyrography is enjoying renewed popularity due to the advancement in wood burning irons, the variety of available tips and the vast assortment of surfaces to decorate.
Getting Started
Set up a safe work area. You can tape the iron holder to a piece of ceramic tile. The tile is heavy enough to keep the iron stand from tipping over while it protects the work surface. You will also need a fi reproof container like a glass dish or metal lid to hold your various tips while they are cooling. You will need a pair of needle nose pliers with smooth jaws to remove the hot tips from the iron. Remember that metal conducts heat very quickly. Never attempt to change a hot tip with your fi ngers. Protect your work surface with aluminum foil, a homosote work board, or a piece of plywood
The best way to get started is to familiarize yourself with the iron the various tips and the patterns they create. See the “Tips and Their
Uses” section for an explanation of how to use each tip included with your new kit.
Tips andTheir Uses
Your new Weller woodburning kit comes with a wide variety of burning cutting, branding, and specialty tips. To get the most from your kit, follow these instructions to create the results you want.

3Groove tip—for burning grooves of various depths. Move slowly across your work to make deeper grooves.

Plug in your woodburning iron and allow it about four minutes to heat up. Hold the wood burner like a pencil. Do not touch any of the meta parts, as they are hot. Start by writing your name. Then practice pulling the point toward you instead of pushing it away. You can vary the appearance of the pattern by the amount of time you leave the tip on the surface and by the pressure applied to the tip. The longer the tip stays on the surface the deeper and darker the pattern will appear. The brown shading s affected by the speed of the tip across the surface. The smoother the surface of the material, the clearer and fi ner the design will appear.
After you have practiced a while, make a sample board as a reminder of patterns you can create using different tips and techniques. This will make it fun and easy to complete a new project with an interesting display of “pyrography techniques”
4Calligraphy tip—This tip mimics the shape of a calligraphy pen. Do not allow the iron to rotate in your hand as you trace calligraphy letters.
5Shading tip—This tip is tapered so that you can use it in several positions to create light or dark shading
6Branding tips—Apply these tips vertically on your project
surface. Remove them in a straight vertical motion to make a distinct pattern.
7Stencil cutting tip—Use this tip to cut craft pattern stencils in
Mylar® or other stencil material.
8Pattern transfer tip—Follow these steps to transfer printed patterns onto your project
a)Make a copy of your pattern using a laser printer.
b)Place the copy face down on your project surface
c)Fit the woodburning iron with the pattern transfer tip and allow the tip to heat to working temperature (about fi ve minutes).
d)Using the pattern transfer tip, slowly rub the back of the pattern in a circular motion to transfer the printed pattern to your project surface.
e)You can now burn your pattern into your project surface 9 Knife tip—To install the knife blade onto the iron, carefully
nsert the blade into the chuck. Insert the threaded chuck onto the soldering iron barrel and tighten. Use this specialty tip to cut foam, rope, or other soft rigid materials.
Keep your tips clean for good performance and long life. Carbon may build up on the tip surface as you work, especially if you’re working with a sappy wood such as pine. Use a fi ne grit sandpaper or wire brush to gently clean the tips while they are hot
