A little bit ago I purchased an Optima wood burner for turning and flat work. I'm goi g to make some picture frames for my sons wedding. I want to embellish them with some writing and simple graphics.
I have a 5/64" ball pen. I've practiced a bit and find it's difficult to control the tip and burn with ash and oak do to the open grain. I have some European Steamed Beech that is less grainy that may work better.
Just wondering if anyone has any hints for this project. Maybe like heat setting, pen pressure, how to transfer pattern...
Thanks,
mike
