Review: My new favorite book! - This book is amazing. I generally woodburn animals - ducks, elk, etc. but I struggled with the backgrounds. Not anymore with this book! I can’t wait to try some of the projects in this book. Amazing for beginners or advanced artists wanting to perfect their craft. Review: Great book for creativity - I love the patterns in this book. I have a small burning tool and this book just makes me want another one that is bigger and better and has more tips. I highly recommend this book for those whom are interested in expanding their abilities not only in drawing, burning, art, but also in creativity. I think I am going to use some of the patterns in this book for wood on some copper... :)

Step by step equals success
I always wish these books were spiral bound so they would lay flat. Oh well. That's the negative review. On a positive note, the author takes care to include the beginnings of understanding texture, shading and lighting, among others. My skill is increasing just by reading the highly structured instructions! When I go back to the board and pattern, I have a better understanding of how the process unfolds. Thank you Lora

The Best
It has 32 patterns, and the best instructions. I would recommend for anyone who does, or wants to learn pyrography.

Lovely pictures
I loved the book. Wishing all of them had as many free patterned in them as this one. Very easy to understand but I only had the single tool. She used the one that carries wire tips so some instructions were hard to follow. But it was a good read for the money. 👍

Good book , good quality, beautiful patterns, for experienced artists
This is a great book if you experienced enough. Unfortunately I am a beginner and it was too complex.for me. It is well.written, comes with beautiful patterns, and is a quality book. Well worth the price. I needed the book for dummies.

Really useful for beginners
Great instructions. But USA styled sketches. Would have preferred greater portion of out back Australia themed sketches.

Great books for all beginner and intermediate wood burners
A lot of detail to help out with getting settled in this new hobby of mine. I wasn’t sure how to start so I read all these books as an introduction to pyrography and I’ve fallen head over heals with the craft from the get go. Landscapes and wildlife have always been an interest of mine, to be able to incorporate these in a hobby like pyrography in these unsettling times has been a godsend. This hobby will keep me sane through my retirement in the near future, I just wish I got into this several years ago. I highly recommend all these reads and sample projects. I’ve also been combining fractal burning with pyrography.

Beautifully Illustrated
This is a very well written book with clear illustrations, good for beginners and more advanced pyrographers. It has sample boards and full designs. I am a beginner and have managed to pick up the skills very quickly using this book.
