There are so many pyrography books out there and it can be difficult to choose which to own. Well, lucky for you, I have gone through almost all of them (seriously, I own over 20 pyrography books!) and have picked out my top ten favorite pyrography books.
When I set out to write my book, The Wood Burn Book, I knew I wanted something that was different. My style of pyrography didn’t feel like the rest of the books out there. I wanted something that fit my style. Something that felt fresh, clean, modern, and jam packed full of the best information. I wanted something that involved our awesome community. I wanted to showcase the versatility of pyrography and the infinite number of ways you can use it. I wanted to give the reader all the information they need to create beautiful pieces of art from wood and burner to literal finish, and I am beyond proud of the finished product. The Wood Burn Book truly is an essential guide to pyrography, and I hope you pick yourself up a copy.
You should also check out The Wood Burn Community Book of Templates Series. This gem includes over 50 designs from 34 different pyrographers for you to practice your pyro skills with patterns you will actually enjoy burning!
While The Wood Burn Book is my favorite pyrography book, I also have many others that I think are fabulous for people wanting to learn this craft.
