Although wood is the most popular venue, pyrography is not limited to burning on wood. Leather, paper, gourds, bark, and nuts are among the materials you can transform with pyrography. Each offers its own advantages and challenges. Many woods can be burned, but some are more suited to pyrography than others.

The temperature setting that you choose for each stroke is a very important element. Low temperature settings create pale tonal value burns. As you raise the temperatur, your strokes take on a darker tonal value.
Each wood burns at a different rate and you will need to adjust your heat settings to accommodate your specific project. Poplar burns quickly. If you have a setting range of 1 through 10, poplar will show pale values as low as 2 and black toned burns as you near 4. Birch burns from a pale value around a 3 and does not reach the black tones until 7 to 8.
Practice on the material that you will be burning on to make sure you use the appropriate temperature.
