    Default Where do you buy carbon paper

    Hi. Does anyone know where I can buy some carbon paper - or anything else suitable for transferring patterns (printed on paper) onto timber.
    cheers and thanks

    Use Transfer paper, better then carbon paper

    CWS Store - Woodburning Accessories | Carroll's Woodcraft Supplies

    Growing old is much better than the alternative!

    IMHO Pyrography transfer paper is the way to go

    Office Supply stores and larger Art Supply stores will have lots of fresh carbon paper. BUT, it is ever so slightly greasy and practically impossible to erase (or sand off) if you make a mistake. Shaving it off with a skew works best for me.

    "Transfer" paper and Graphite paper are more like pencil lead and erasable. Art stores might have artist's graphite blocks = about 5mm x 15mm x 30mm. You can scribble that on the back of your drawing for transfer. Expensive, $5 or more.
    In any case, use a soft pencil, HB or softer, to avoid denting the wood.
    Even if I am drawing directly on the carving block, I use 4B or even 6B pencil.

    SWMBO uses this stuff when she's quilting

    Clover USA Chacopy Tracing Paper - Marking Tools

    and I've pinched a sheet or two of it over time.

    Try your local Lincraft or quilting supplies store
