Pyrography is another word for woodburning, but the term woodburning is only used when burning on wood.

Pyrography in Latin means “fire” (pyro-) and “writing/ drawing” (-graphy).

When you are burning patterns, text, or images on materials, such as gourds, leather, cork, canvas, tagua nuts, bone, or paper, the proper term is pyrography.

One of the most popular materials that people burn is wood. Because it’s the go-to material, people often refer to all of pyrography as woodburning, which is incorrect. It’s best to only use the term woodburning when referring to burning on wood. In the end, though, whatever you want to call it, pyrography is an excellent craft to learn and wood is a good place to start.

Woodburning is one of many pyrography techniques.
