How to choose woodcraft and pyrography supplies

For pyrography and whittling, choose pale, close-grained woods such as lime (basswood) or birch plywood, which burn evenly and carve cleanly. The tool then depends on whether you want fine lines or broad shading.

• Wire-nib pyrography pens heat quickly and give finer control; solid-point pens are simpler for beginners.
• Do not burn treated wood, MDF or painted surfaces, which can release harmful fumes; work in a ventilated space.
• Keep carving knives sharp and wear a cut-resistant glove on the hand holding the wood.
• Finish burned or carved pieces with wax or oil to protect the surface.
