Any who have tried burning lines into pens know that using wire can cut through to the tube very quickly. Eagle uses cotton string and suggested we try that. I just finished an osage orange slimline that I wanted to burn lines in but we don't have any cotton string in the house. Digging around in my 'stuff' I found a ball of hemp string I had bought from some hippies craft shop. This worked just fine. It burned the rings and broke/burned through at just the instant I wanted to stop. A big plus using hemp is that the smoke got me high while I was doing this.
