Wood Burning

I tried to wood burn my carving the easy way. So I put it in my burn barrel, and when the fire went out, there was nothing left. Does anybody know why?? :-/

Yes, I assume you are using basswood; a relatively soft wood that leaves nothing behind.
Next time, carve a denser wood like oak or maple, there will be lots of ash remaining after woodburning.

Or start carving ash, then you're already there!

The problem is...it's easy to lose your ash that way!

You could try iron wood. Iron doesn't burn very well.

You should have used Water Oak. Or weeping willow. :
