Description
This massive cutting board was burned in a style based on Deruta pottery designs, particularly the Raffaellesco dragon (though I modified the face to a more heraldic style.) The rose is a Sitka Rose, which is found in Alaska.
Pyrography on various hardwoods
Pen: Optima 1
About the Process:
Each piece is first hand-drawn with pencil (brain to hand to wood). Reference photos may be used, but all designs are my own original artwork.
Then guidelines are hand-burned using a pyrography pen, and all pencil marks are erased and sanded clean.
The piece is finished entirely with pyrography ( hand-burned using a hot pen, similar to a soldering iron).
No computers are used to generate images. No lasers are used to create designs. No routers are utilized to create depth. Very occasionally, I will add bright accent tints of purple, blue, green, or red with acrylic paint; however, all non-chromatic shades are accomplished with burning, and not paints or stains.
