Beech Hollow Form

[Dalboy]

Just finished this one today made from Beech and measures 5" X 4". I had the pyrography machine last November as a Birthday present and have not used it that much, so it was a learning curve for me not just in its use but making my own curly wire shape.

C & C welcome

That's just gorgeous.

That's a Scorcher, a steady but aching hand at the end I assume.

 

[Dalboy]

Thank you both.

Chas i did the pyro work in two sittings it was the top that seemed to take the longest.

That's nice work, Mr Boy.
Great shape.
I really like the swirl pattern - I assume that is the curly wire shape you made.
Which machine do you have and are you happy with it?

Thank you.

I have the Peter Child one and from the little I have used it I am very happy with it. Also by having reels of wire enables me to make my own burner shapes.

This is the one I made for the hollow form. I think that there is a limit to how long the burning section is any more curves on this one would possibly be a problem.

The box it is resting on is one from Axminster and has 12 containers in it I use it to store the reels of wire as they fit a treat and also the ones I have made up trying to keep similar shapes in each pot

Is that nichrome wire that you need to use for those 'bits'?

If you mean Nickel Chrome then yes There are different sizes for this machine

Some good ideas here there are more videos on making them
