Still not sure how to choose your wood? You’re not alone! Choosing the wrong wood can make pyrography frustrating, inconsistent…..and in some cases, downright unsafe. I created this quick-reference cheat sheet to help you choose your wood before you ever turn on your burner. Download the PDF below and save it to your phone, print it for your workspace, and keep it handy whenever you’re choosing a new piece of wood. Know your wood. Burn smarter. Create better. 🐴🔥

Hey everyone! Welcome to Learn to Burn — The Blue Horse Way! I’m Sara, the artist behind Blue Horse Fine Art, and I created this community because I want to teach you how I actually create my pyrography artwork. I want to take you behind the scenes of my process along with tips and tricks! I’m going to show you my techniques, my thought process, my tools, my mistakes, and the things I’ve learned through my experience of burning. My goal isn’t for everyone to make art that looks exactly like mine. I want to give you the techniques that make MY work possible so you can eventually take them and make them your own. So let’s start here… Tell me: 1. Have you ever tried woodburning before? 2. What do you most want to learn? 3. What animal would you LOVE to learn how to burn realistically? I’m going to use your answers to help shape what we learn here. Welcome to the community. Let’s burn.
