As well as the type of pyrography machine that you elect to buy, it is also vital to consider your choice in terms of handling. Each unit (and most importantly the pen itself) has its own size, shape, and weight that must be kept in mind before you make a purchase. If you are going to be working on a design for a sustained period, the pen must be easy for you to hold in a comfortable yet relaxed grip. A pen that is too heavy or too awkward for you to hold will not be easy or enjoyable to work with, resulting in poor finished results and, ultimately, a lack of pleasure in what you are doing. If you can do so, visit a crafts supplier where you can handle a range of different machines first before spending your hard-earned money; you will not regret it in the long run!

I strongly believe that holding a pyrography pen should be as comfortable as holding a regular pen or pencil. You should be able to hold the pen in a natural, relaxed grip without any effort or strain. Most pyrography pens are designed to protect the user from any excess heat through insulated grip sections or guards to keep stray fingertips away from the business end; you must, therefore, bear this in mind when using the pen. Ultimately the pyrography pen needs more care and consideration than normal writing implements when it is being used due to the added risk of the generated heat.
