Hello Everyone, I am new to carving and woodburning. My dad, his buddy and I build custom log furniture. We been building for around 6 months now. I just decided to get into carving to see how it goes. Burning is the main thing I wanna learn. Carving would be cool too, Just checking in and saying whats up.

Some of our work

I think I like your work! That's what I think.The few burns you show enhance the work well. Check down in the Pyrography section for more advice on burning tools and techniques. There are some excellent pyros here.
