Introduction to Pyrography: the art of decorating wood using heated tools, is a superbly illustrated practical guide to this fascinating hobby. Daniel Wright's enthusiasm for his subject is beautifully captured in a sequence of clear, easy-to-follow step-by-step photographs and unusual projects. Taking his inspiration from pen and ink, engraving and watercolour techniques, he demonstrates many exciting methods and traditional ways of working, creating landscapes, trees, flowers, animals and buildings. Information is included on the types of wood to use, how to prepare surfaces, working with the grain and enhancing designs. He goes on to illustrate shading and faux marquetry, and there's a section on using photographs and sketches to produce unique designs. Daniel's individual, whimsical style is the perfect complement to the objects he decorates: bowls, boxes, plates, frames, panels, a chess set, a nursery stool, and more. He also loves decorating old wooden objects, working patterns, pictures and motifs into the worn textured surfaces. This book will inspire, entertain and instruct you, whether you are a complete beginner, or an experienced pyrographer. - Step-by-step demonstrations - Complete beginners will be able to master the techniques - Exciting new designs and stylish projects

This book is a fascinating read. I am new to Pyrography and found Daniel's explanations very easy to follow, which has helped enormously in my new hobby.
Pyrography is a not well-known artform so this book is one of the very few I could find on the subject and is well-worth buying.

What an exciting book. Daniel really explains the skills involved in this highly complex art form. The pictures are superb and detail he achieves in his work incredible. The best pyrographer in the UK by far!
