Review: Just chock full of great patterns, ideas, designs - Chock full of great patterns, ideas, designs. Usual front chapter on equipment, how to set up, etc. She does spend a page telling us about her wonderful childhood, and how her ensuing wonderful marriage has also been great. She could have left some of that out. Not all of us were blessed with a wonderful childhood, and due to family, hardships, and other turmoil we had to fight for every bit of happiness we ever received. I bought it for the patterns, and they are great. Didn't need a one page synopsis on how great her life is. Also, she seems to be totally committed to Colwood burners. Personally, I find the Burnmasters much more useful, but all of these renowned pyrographic artists seem to want to tell us which unit they think is best. She prefers the fixed tip pens. That's fine. I like the versatility of the Burnmaster. Overall, one of the best for designs and patterns. If you are already into pyrography, skip the rest.

Large Book, Gorgeous Pictures!
A large book full of big pictures! Especially helpful for seeing how the patterns are shaded. The author also explains how she achieves powerful depth and realism by using extreme darks and very light lights in shading.

The core of Woodburning1
Deborah Pompano gives a good summary on the tools she recommends from Woodburning.com, but really she should have written down the tool numbers on her recommendation to save the reader some time. I personally searched on line with her recommended company and looking at the sketched drawing, or photo raised a question does this tool match her recommendation? Woodburning.com has all the tools available to do some very fine work if the artist is qualified with the skill to accomplish the different task. In saying that, when you recommend a tool, it only takes an experience person a minute to match the tool with the one recommended as a reference in her book. Not knowing the tool names or there specific use, it took me well over an hour to search and find the tools needed... I based this on no experience or familiarity with the catalog or tools from woodburning.com! Even then I could not find the (FT) Fixed Tip and (RT) Replacement Tips and the cost difference until I sent a message to the company! After I did that, everything became available with the proper index! I am anxious to begin some training as soon as I get my tips oredered. This book is a valued tool if you are a serious person in the adventure of woodburning!

Love it - educational and creative
A very good book to read about the art of wood burning. I have been involved in pyrography for the past 20 years and have decided to buy this book as a look-see for new designs and this book delivers. It helps the aging imagination to spark new designs onto your wood and create more masterpieces for people to enjoy. Sure you can surf the internet and find designs but this book is well laid out and instructive for the novice to the experienced wood artist. Much cheers for this book.

The recipient of this book was thrilled. He has just recently began to enjoy woodworking and has found the book very helpful. He has told me the book is easy to understand and has a lot of patterns that he is looking forward to trying. I am so pleased he is happy with the book.

Solo per esperti.
Libretto adatto a chi è già un poco esperto con il pirografo. Ottimi consigli e bei disegni. Se poi sei anche un poco esperto col traforo, questo è un libro perfetto. Consigliatissimo.
