[@kathleendowney8633]

Watched your first video. Onto the next one. I have learned a lot. Thank you for sharing.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad to hear that you are taking something positive away from the video Kathleen. Please feel free to ask any questions that you might have along the way. I'd be more than happy to help if I can. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for the kind words.

[@EnlightenedFlamingo]

Such beautiful work. I hope one day I can have at least half the skill or talent you do. Looking forward to watching part 3!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I'm sure your wood burnings will be gorgeous Amy. Take your time and practice on scrap before burning your actual project and you will do well. Thanks for tuning in.

You inspired me to learn pyrography. God bless you! Greatings from Austria, Europe.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I'm glad that you were inspired to learn this art form Viktor. Good luck. It really is a fun way to work with the wood and create some beautiful artwork. If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

@@acutabove_woodworkings I ordered mine on amazon, I will get it this week. I am very excited. thank you for responding to my comment, I have a question... which finish can i use, to seal my peaces? Sorry for my bad english but my mother language is german. 😂

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

@@viktor5088 Your English is just fine. Don't worry about it. As for the finish....any clear varnish will work just fine. It can be gloss or it can be matt, whatever you like. You can even spray lacquer your project and that will work as well. If you don' want the wood to yellow over time as it can with varnish, just frame it under glass to protect it without the sealer. I hope this helps.

You are obviously very talented in doing many things...and that is the beauty of not being pigeon holed...Keep it up and keep :)

More shows to go back & have a look at. 👍🏻

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I hope you enjoy them Troy. Thanks for tuning in.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Ken, this is coming along great. Adding the accents like the shading and darkening the windows really makes things stand out. As with your models it shows that to get a good result you need to take your time and pay attention to the details. Looking forward to next week.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thanks for the kind words on the show and the project Paul. I appreciate it. The whole thing will come to a conclusion next week and I hope that you enjoy the finale of the series. These really are a of fun to do and although you wouldn't' think so, wood burner is a very forgiving art form. It's doesn't take very much artist ability to get great results. Thanks for tuning in sir.

[@mikethompson9745]

is carbon tracing paper the same as Graphite Transfer paper? or will one rub off with your hand? I look on amazon and it selects carbon paper doesn't list Graphite

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Carbon paper and Graphite paper are two different things. Graphite, can be erased like a pencil whereas carbon paper cannot. I bought the graphite paper at Lee Valley and the stuff lasts forever. Here's a link for the paper. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/supplies/project-materials/32818-graphite-tracing-paper Thanks for tuning in to the show Mike.

[@Genesis60]

Thank You... always was interested, just never tried this art form.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

You really should consider it Tom. It's a heck of a lot of fun and it is also fairly forgiving. Thanks for tuning in to the show this week.

Brilliant video thankyou for taking your time to teach us, I just got a razor tip sk today but only with the interchangeable pen. What pens are you using here so I can order them as a starter thankyou.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

This entire project Ben, was done with a skew tip, a large spoon shader and a writing tip. These are the most versatile tips and can be incorporated into any burning. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@charlesmerrifield1734]

hello Kenny,wood you recommend a interchangeable pen whit a beginner kit tip if not what tip pen do you propose thank in advance

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Any wood burner would be fine for a beginner. I am assuming that you are referring to the solid soldering iron style with the interchangeable tips and those are just fine. There are plenty of professionals who use those with amazing results. Good luck with your learning. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you for tuning in to the show.

[@charlesmerrifield1734]

@@acutabove_woodworkings salut,i was at leevalley in Laval this morning the ad the razertip in display got too tried it but the ad so meany type of tip pen all work great but now I'm more confuse,the didn't ad the interchangeable one in display but the ave kits, one for beginner witch seems to be a god starting point .but i read that the are not that good a gentleman there told me the old model ad some of the issue i brought up not the new one, what do you think, pleas HELP thank you

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

@@charlesmerrifield1734 If you were interested in the razertip system then you would only really need to purchase a shader pen. I believe the system comes with a skew tip and you can pretty much burn anything with a skew and a shader. From there, as you get better, you can always add another pen. Maybe a writing nib or a smaller skew. As you get better, you can keep adding to your pen selection. The razertip is a very nice wood burner. I hope this helps.

Hey, Kenny: I missed where you got this pattern. I looked through the three videos, but couldn't find it. Was it from Simon Easton's "Learn to Burn: A step-by-Step...' book? Thanks. BTW: You are a very good teacher!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

The information of where I got the pattern and which book it is from is listed in the show's description Tony. Just click on the "read more" tab and you will see the information along with an amazon link to the book that this pattern was copied from. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@krashunburn]

@@acutabove_woodworkings Well, duh! I knew that. Why didn't I just look in the comments section for the book info? Mom always said, "Don't let Tony have sharp things. He'll hurt himself." Which is why all I could write with were crayons. And now I want to go hot? Wah, hah! Thanks, again...

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

@@krashunburn LOL. No worries. I'm just glad that you got the information. Good luck on your burning. I'm sure it's going to be awesome.

[@AlbiesProductsOnline]

When you said to “shade with the grain not across it it will stick out like a sore thumb “ was that the grain of your picture or of the wood you are burning the picture on to

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Great question Allan. I was referring to shading the grain on the picture that you are working on. Specifically, the boards on the side of the old mill. Shading from end to end of the board in the picture gives a much more even effect while shading those same pictured boards across their width, would cause too much overlapping and make the shading look muddy and uneven. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with you question. If you have any other questions along the way, please don't hesitate to ask and I would be more than happy to help if I can.
