• Stencil for text work: The letter and number stencil lets you add uniform lettering to wood without freehand drawing.

• Allow to heat: Place the iron on its stand, plug it in, and wait 90 seconds for the tip to reach working temperature.

• Set out your stencil: If adding lettering, position the letter and number stencil on the wood surface before you begin.

• Apply the tip: Work with steady, controlled strokes. Do not press hard - let the heat do the work.

• Rest safely: Return the iron to its stand between uses. Allow it to cool fully before changing tips or storing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is wood-burning art called?
  Wood burning art is called pyrography - a term from the Greek words for fire and writing. It covers any technique that uses a heated tip to scorch designs into wood, leather, or other natural materials.

• What wood is best for wood burning?
  Light-coloured, fine-grained woods work best. Basswood, birch, and beech are popular choices - they burn smoothly and give a strong contrast against dark burn marks. Always use natural, untreated timber. Avoid stained, painted, or pressure-treated wood and manufactured boards such as MDF or plywood.

• Can you use a wood-burning iron on leather?
  Yes, on vegetable-tanned, unfinished leather. Chrome-tanned or finished leather can produce toxic fumes when burned. Work in a well-ventilated space and test on a scrap piece before starting your main project.

• Do you need ventilation when wood burning indoors?
  Yes. Burning wood and other natural materials produce fumes and smoke. Work near an open window or use a fume extractor. Position a small fan to draw smoke away from your face, and consider wearing eye protection and a suitable respiratory mask.

• What is the difference between a wood-burning tool and a soldering iron?
  A standard soldering iron joins metal using solder. A wood-burning tool uses shaped tips to scorch patterns into natural surfaces. Some kits - like this one - combine both by including interchangeable tips for each application.
