Basket Weave Pyrography

[Cwalker935]

I have done some basket weave pyrography on bowls and hollow vessels and decided to try it on a pen. I like the look but am not happy with the fit. I used poplar and the burning decreased the diameter. I noticed this while doing the lower barrel and left the upper barrel a little proud before burning which improved the fit. I will try a harder wood on the next one.

Wow!
Are those all short streaks of a burning tool?
That must have taken hours.
I use pyrography to sign my bowls and I understand. That's crazy cool!

Cool effect - very unique. I'm a fan!

That looks awesome Cody. I've only done pyrography as decorations on stuff. I did this quite a few years back on a piece of pecan trunk. It's about 36" tall and about 14" wide. THE TABLE i did about a year ago. Nice work my friend!

It's a coil made from 20 gauge nichrome wire. Applied in a pattern alternating the direction of the coils.

are much better at pyrography than I am!

THANK YOU for showing the picture of the coil. My mind was going crazy trying to figure out how you did that. All I could imagine is that you had trained an octopus to use a dozen different pyro-pens simultaneously!

Excellent Cody! Excellent!

Very nice. The unique pattern and the color of the blanks are accented nicely by the components. Great choice. Thank you for sharing.

Groovy!!

Maybe try a harder wood next time to reduce the decrease in diameter when burning.
