Made for my bf who loves Yugioh. My first attempt using a wire wood burner instead of the pen kind and I'm never going back!

Pine vs Basswood

I predominantly use pine wood for my wood burns, but I hear many people prefer basswood, so I wanted to inquire anout what wood types are better suited for different kinds of jobs.

I always feel really inconsistent with pine, and I worder if it’s the wood or just the fact that I’ve only just started burning 6 months ago

Stippled butterfly and metal leaf

I made this a few months ago as a surprise for a family member. I believe at the time it was my 4th piece. Materials are wood and metal leaf.

Dark Eyed Junco!

Found this piece of wood super cheap at goodwill! The grain was kind of hard to burn over but I think this still came out OK!
