Every beginner has a board like the first one. The book exists so your next board looks like the second.
Most beginners start on the real thing: a gift, a sign, a good board. That’s the hardest place to learn. This book flips the order.
Ten simple strokes and textures to learn heat, speed and control before a design is at stake.
Every project has a full-size pattern and clear transfer steps. No drawing skill needed.
Coasters and tags first, then spoons, signs and gifts, so confidence builds with every piece.
Pick what you want to make first. Each one has a materials list, steps and a pattern.
Images on this page are AI-generated illustrations of the kinds of pieces in the book, not photos of customers’ work.
Wood burning tools get very hot. The book builds good habits into every project: a heat-proof stand, effective ventilation, safety glasses and never burning treated, painted or sealed wood. You’ll feel calm, not nervous, every time you switch the pen on.
Always follow your own tool’s manual as well.

Yes. It starts with how to hold the pen and what to buy, and assumes no drawing skill.
A wood burning pen with a pointed or universal tip, a heat-proof stand, safety glasses, untreated wood, sandpaper, a pencil, graphite transfer paper and a finish. The book explains what to look for.
Two PDFs, one for US Letter and one for A4. Read it on a phone, tablet or computer, and print the pattern pages at full size.
The patterns are for personal use and gifts. Selling items made from them needs written permission, and the book also shows you how to design your own originals.

No. It focuses on approachable projects and core skills, not photorealistic portraits.
