starting your burning of a picture.

I do think you are an artist Jim. If you weren’t your burnings could not come out half as nice. Remember, artists work with patterns too and they also find pictures they want to replicate in one way or another. I suggest you start with a simple outline pattern and take us through it step by step and also show what kind of burning tip you are using for each step. Might be good to know if you use the tip, heel or other parts of the burning tip too.

Several years ago, I used to burn wood and leather pictures, and pictorials, and did leather carving….I still have all my leather burning tools….At one time I sold them in a picture gallery in Memphis….people seemed to like the leather pictures best…..If you’ve never burned leather, give it try….I think you would like it…..basically the same set-up as burning wood….just don’t burn a hole in the leather….lol.

Jim, you are most assuredly an artist. Better yet…homemade tools. Ya gotta love it.

Jim; thanks for the woodburning info. Our ancestor’s made their tools to fit the job, you should be proud. I assume the dimmer switch is for shading.
