Remember that plug in woodburning pen thing you had when you were a kid? You can still get them at Dick Blicks Art Supply ( http://www.dickblick.com/categories/woodburning-pens/ )and probably any other local hobby store. I was walking up the stairs to my shop today and noticed a couple of my burnings hanging on the wall. I thought I would share them on my blog, maybe get some other folks interested. It’s a lot of fun and is some woodworking you can do while you’re sitting around the house watching the Olympics. It’s very quiet and smells great … Your kids and your art students might like it too …. More photos on my blog at http://dorsetcustomfurniture.blogspot.com/
If you’ve done some burnings, post some pictures and let me know what you think about the whole deal either here or on my blog … Thanks …dan
PS … These are all small … +/- 3.5×7 or 8” ... I’ve also done bigger ones up to 20×50 …

I like the burns you’ve done… pretty creative.
I love to woodburn, but it’s something that I haven’t done in a while. I used to do it all the time, because it was reletively inexpensive, and you didn’t need a lot to get started.
Here is a pic of the last one I did several years ago. A larger view of it is here.

I like them very much. Bought a cheap pen several years ago. Used it a little on a project and never got back to it. The color is a fun contrast.

Hi Dan,
You’ve tweaked a memory and a good one it was. I used to burn anything that even resembled wood with my cork covered tool when I was a kid until it got taken away. I wonder what my mom would have done if I painted my stuff in abstract like yours? Hmmmmm…..
You also mentioned Dick Blick and I can vouch for them too. The customer service is great and the depth and breadth of selection for art supplies is mind boggling. I love spending a whole day going through their printed catalogue page by page and imagining what I could do with some of those “tools”.
Great job and thanks for the post,
-- Jim
