Woodburning is a technique used to create designs on wood surfaces by applying heat. This is typically done with a tool called a pyrography pen, which has a heated tip that burns the wood to produce various shades and textures. Artists can create intricate patterns, images, or lettering by controlling the temperature and pressure of the tool. The process of woodburning can be enjoyed by hobbyists and professionals alike. It is often used for crafting items like decorative plaques, coasters, and furniture. The final product can be finished with stains or sealants to enhance its appearance and durability.
