I’ll post some pictures of them. I have three different walnut hallow pens and just got a colwood kit. The gentleman is my grandfather. I made the burn for my dad because I was across the country and wasn’t able to make it for the services. Sent a piece of my soul to them instead. Thank you though! I’ve spent years doing crafts and small hobbies, but never found anything I love as much and burning faces! Haha (I made a joke!)
Thank you! I kind of bought the tool as a joke. I didn’t actually think I would be able to make anything worth looking at and bam it has become my thing! Those are really neat. Some of the work I have seen has been breathtaking! I’m practicing to get to that point. Determined to make this my niche!
When I finish my practice ones I will start doing custom pieces, but that sounds fairly easy to do. I actually made the bears logo to sell, but my husband changed his mind and has decided it’s his lol. Hit me with an image of what you were thinking. I might be able to knock it out in between my others.
Do you make a living with your crafts? Really nice work. I haven't seen any FHC burnings get posted.....yet.
Honestly I just started as a hobby. Haven’t sold anything as I have been just making and giving them to family. When I get some more practice I might start.
Those are beautiful I have no talent for that whatsoever so I am always impressed with the talent it takes to do it I myself am limited to a smiley face in a disk with a chainsaw JB
Welcome aboard! Nice, nice, nice! I'm betting that you have some sort of exhaust fan set up while working.... or maybe there isn't that much smoke?
Great work Alicia You do beautiful work. What a great response from those here on FHC to embrace a different kind of "wood burning"
Love the wolf. Bet you wouldn't have any issue selling them. Look into farmers markets in the summer. You can sit there and work on some while selling. Possibly get some special orders. Take pics of your work and put it in s notebook and place it where people can look at it as their browsing.
Welcome to FHC Alicia. That is first class work there. You have a gift and are far along in perfecting it! I especially like the wolf, bear and the Gentleman with glasses!
It is highly recommended to have a fan, but I am a slacker and I just blow the smoke away as I burn haha.
Thank you so much! Yes I have love this forum. It’s probably the best group I have been in for anything!
The wolf is actually still a work in progress. It needs the entire background still. Lol. Such a slacker I am. Yes I’m working on doing some selling. Just need to work on my confidence more than my technique. Thank you!
Thank you! The gentleman with glasses was the 3rd piece I did. Before any of the others. I am slowly figuring out how to move the burning tips. It’s a process, but i have always been into pyro lol. Just didn’t think I could make anything that nice.
You’re so kind! Thank you. It’s more a confidence thing rather than a skill thing haha. I am a slacker, but also a perfectionist. I see all the flaws in my work and I could spend forever on one piece lol.
