Description
Just as there is often a story behind a handcrafted piece, there is a story behind Woodburning with Style. That story begins with award‑winning woodburning artist Simon Easton, who has dubbed his creations "wood tattoos" because they remind him of getting a tattoo ‑ both mark a surface, and both can be used to commemorate an event or communicate a feeling. His progressive teaching style imparts guidance while letting crafters find their own creative niche with the art form. Beginner's will want to learn more and experienced pyrographers will be inspired by his hip designs.

Advance Praise
The craft of woodburning, or pyrography, has been greatly aided in recent years by improvements in the pens and nibs (points) used for burning. Easton, an expert woodturner and metalsmith, discusses basic mark making and decoration techniques using purchased and homemade nibs and applies them to practice projects using designs copied from many sources. There are not many books available on the craft, and this will be welcome in general collections.
