New addiction

[Snowbeast]

This picture burning is becoming an addiction. This is a birthday gift for my dad who's a big train nut. Another leather creation framed in homemade red oak. Overall size in frame is 14 1/2" x 11".

Any comments, and especially critiques, welcomed. Thanx for looking.

What kind of burner do you use...what pens?

Jim,

As I am new to this medium, I didn't want to invest a lot yet. So I bought a Walnut Hollow Versa-tool kit and got started. Seems to work for me so far.

Nice picture. I happen to have grown up in Mancos, Colorado, 30 miles west of Durango and have ridden the Durango and Silverton.

nice work.

if you're interested, there's a good woodburning artist not too far from you that teaches classes:

she came and did a presentation at our club and it was a big hit!

Thanks, Shawn. I'll check her out.

fANTASTIC!!! I am sure your father will be proud to display it. Some of the pen turners on this site use this art to inhance their projects. It's always a one of a kind statement that your average crafter can not duplicate !! Jim S
