Pyrography tips

Tips comes in many shapes and bends from the tight

bend used in the standard writing tip to half circles

that can create fish scales and even square tubes

that make a textured pattern on your board. Three

basic pen tips are used throughout this book—the

standard writing tip, the micro writing tip, and a

small flat spoon shader.

Standard writing tip pen.

For wide line shading and

texture work, try the standard writing tip. By holding

the pen in an upright position, 90° from the working

surface, fine detail lines can be pulled. To create wider

lines in your texturing, drop your grip to about 45°

from the wood. The angle change allows the side of

the wire to touch the board giving you more metal to

wood contact.

Standard tip sample.

The standard tip pen creates a

strong, wide line perfect for both outlining and shading.

Spoon shader tip pen.

This small flat shader creates a

wide path of smooth tonal values and is excellent for

general shading within your design. Shader tips come

in several profiles from spoon shaped, square, and

half rounds.

Micro writing tip pen.

The micro writing tools is

manufactured using thinner wire and a tighter bend at

the tip. The tip’s shape allows little metal to come into

direct contact to the working surface and produces

fine detailing lines. Fine dense textures can be layered

using this tool to burn an area into an even, smooth

tonal value.

Micro tip sample.

For extremely fine line work, try the

micro tip pen.

Spoon shader sample.

Large areas can quickly be

toned using the spoon shaped shading tip.
