    Hi Scott!
    Sorry it took me so long to reply…It's hard to say which book is better…Cheryl Dow has some great books for beginners titled Woodburning with Cheryl Dow, as well as Sue Walters book titled Pyrography Workbook, Sue also has kits on her website that give step by step instructions with ton of photos to show you how to do it, and then there is Lora Irish…The Great Book of Woodburning…she does a great job on explaining shading.

    You are never a pest Scott…I'm here to help anyone who asks for it.

    So how do you like your new burner???? "Keep burning and learning"....Danette

    Hello Danette

    I purchased the burner and spent last night burning wood. I now know enough about burning to know how little I know. Do you have an opinion on a book that you feel is good for a beginner. I have read the reviews from several on Barnes and Nobles website but it is difficult to make a decision when knowing so little.

    I hope I am not making myself a pest, Scott

    Hi Scott!

    Here are the three pen tips P-18- Medium Spear Shader;
    P-19s- 1/16" Ball Tip; this is great for signing your name and doing pupils, etc. ;
    Medium Skew either straight or rounded…I learned on the rounded.

    Where or who did you order from?

    Hello Danette

    I am going to purchase an optima 1 wodburner. I have made the deal to get three pens. My interest is in burning wood and making 2d patterns of animals. My question to you is what three pen tips do you suggest I select.

    Thanks, Scott

    Hi Karsen!
    Thanks for the welcome. I've been very busy woodburning for several shows coming up. I'm not able to share photos of my works just yet until I'm done competing with them in the Fall. I can share some from past competitions. Hope you are well and keeping busy. Take care…Dangee
