r/Pyrography

I’m currently working with pyrography on a wooden bookmark. My next step is to paint it with acrylic or watercolour.

Just a collection of recent work that I’ve done and forgot to post!

It's also food safe! I mean, I wouldn't directly cook on it, it's not flame or temperature resistant, but you can pull the pie out of an oven with it and it's specifically treated to be food safe. Hand wash with soap and water, reseal with mineral oil, Walrus Oil®, or beeswax every few months, depending on how frequently it's used and it's good to go!

It's available, in other words.

Material is Sapele mahogany

Finished this custom bar and liquor display recently.

The main feature is built from individual sections of reclaimed rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) wood. I wanted the wood itself to create the shape and visual movement, so the entire piece is made from a series of individually shaped sections rather than one solid carved panel.

The sections are mounted to a 3/4" plywood back plate, which was painted in a charcoal-gray polyurethane finish. The whole design was broken into sections mainly to make transportation and installation manageable. Once on site, everything was assembled and hung using a series of French cleats.

The lighting is also integrated directly into the design rather than added as an afterthought. The LED lighting is concealed within the wood sections, using the shape and depth of the piece to create the glow between the curves and highlight the bottles.

The bottle shelves are recessed into the design and use 10 mm glass, which keeps the shelves visually light while still giving them plenty of strength.

One of the trickier parts was getting all the individual wood sections to flow together while maintaining the same overall shape and spacing. There are a lot of pieces in this thing, so keeping everything organized during fabrication and installation was definitely part of the challenge.

Pretty happy with how it turned out, especially once the light was turned on and started bringing out all the curves and grain.

What do you guys think? Would love to hear what you would have done differently.

Done on lime wood, Monkey belongs to my 97 year old great uncle (as in my mums uncle) who is English but has lived in Hong Kong for over 50 years.

This is his beautiful 17 year old Pomeranian named Monkey

I knew I wanted to do a frog sitting on a cloud, that was the only direction I gave myself, this is where I ended up last night.
