That's amazing work David, very talented

absolutely brilliant, if these are done for relaxation, I would love to see what you did for a living!!!!!.

I suggest that you take a couple around to some of the art Gallery's , I believe that you would get some interest, If not sales, if you so desired.

The machine I use is an 'Ironcore' but with a 'Razor tip' pen attached to it. I tend to use nibs I make myself from the wire they supply. I try to make the nib as general purpose as possible so I needn't change nibs often.

David,That is un- believable !

Where do you get your ply from.
How long have you been doing Pyrography and did you do art of any kind before.

Cheers

Thanks 'Strungout'. I usually get my ply from 'Mister Ply & Wood' mostly hoop pine and sometimes kauri. They just happened to have some european beech one time so I tried that too.

I've been doing pyrography for four years or so. I consider pyrography to be just another drawing media, albeit with a unique appearance, sometimes due to the 3D engraved nature of the lines. In my own work however, I tend to use a technique that avoids this.

A big plus for me is that pyrography is on timber and I like the look of timber. I didn't exactly choose pyrography when I got more fully immersed in woodcrafts after retiring from a full time position, it just seemed a logical place to start, as I was an illustrator and all I needed to learn was handling a different kind of 'pen'.

Claiming only four years experience in pyrography is a bit misleading though, as I have been an illustrator of about forty years experience, much of it with pen and ink before the advent of computer graphics.

Now in semi-retirement I can indulge in deadline-free non-digital art like pyrography, carving and watercolour painting when I don't have any other work with deadlines attached.

Love the pyrography, unbelievable work.

I also visited your website and those welsh loves spoons you created are something else, I am gob smacked.
