      Book Overview

      The art of pyrography -- burning designs into wood and many other materials -- can add a special touch to any project, including wooden trunks and jewelry, wildlife carvings, leather pictures, and paper collages. In this book, Al Chapman will explain the different tools and mediums that can be used, and will show you in detail how to use them for different effects. You will learn several methods of transferring a pattern onto your piece of wood or leather, how to give depth to your pictures with crosshatching, stippling, and flat-edge shading, how to make realistic-looking fur, and how to add shadows and highlights. Chapman's extensive experience with these techniques allows him to give you helpful hints for keeping your pictures realistic looking, with subtle and graceful lines. You will also learn how to use your pyrography techniques on paper, a technique that is useful for borders, collages, or decoupage.

      Very informative and helpful.

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      This is a very well written book, I'm not an editor, however, it was easily understood, the instructions were very good with photographic examples. I feel this book will help me to improve the quailty of my work and help me in choosing the tools that I need to make a quality product.

      GREAT !!!!!

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      The beginning pyrographer should be sure to have this book on hand. Al Chapman has put together a wonderful "how to" publication for those of us that need a few ideas and tips. A keeper.

      Learning the Art of Pyrography

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      This book is a good beginners introduction to the wonderful world of Pyrography. Lots of color and illustrations with easy to comprehend text. I was a little disappointed in the photo references, which show an American made burning tool being used. This tool is not readily available worldwide and may deter a potential Pyrographer from pursuing the art any further. There are many other tools available for creating this art...
