Dressing Up Wooden Objects with Pyrography
Pyrography is the art of “drawing” on wood using a stylus with an electrically-heated tip. For those that have mastered drawing in ink and are seeking another way to make indelible marks, pyrography is a good way to add visual interest to plain surfaces. It’s something like creating tattoos on wood rather than flesh.

By It’s a little less convenient than working on paper in that it must be done in a ventilated area and requires power, but the aesthetic effect, properly done, seems well worth the effort. I also like the natural imprecision conferred by handwork, as opposed to the machine-based perfection of laser burning.
