Hickory Bowl With Pyrography, Pt 2

The bowl is almost finished, but I couldn’t wait to share the progress!  I’d be waiting for my new Burnmaster Eagle to arrive so that I could finish up the pyrography.  I’ll be writing a review of the Burnmaster Eagle in a few weeks, but for now I’ll just tell ya’ short n sweet…  I like it!

This bowl is 13″ x 5″ and it took much longer than I anticipated to burn the entire pattern around the bowl.  I think it was worth it though!

I’m by no means I pyrography expert, but I noticed that adjusting the tool presentation while I worked around the piece was very helpful.  Also, I made the first and last rows of branding in the vertical orientation.  I then switched to a basket weave pattern for the rest of the branding.

Gentle, even pressure is really all that’s needed to put the pattern on the wood.

Here’s the pyrography finished up!  I just need to reverse turn it this evening and then it’ll be off to Going Local NC!  Don’t worry, there’s still a little something I’m planning on to finish off the piece and it should be up tomorrow!

Oh, if you do this much burning on a piece, plan on smelling like a campfire for the next 24 hours! 🙂
