Before you start wood burning you need to prep your wood.
Prepping your wood means sanding using low grit rough sandpaper and gradually using higher and finer grit paper until the wood is smooth to the touch.
This helps prevent your woodburner tips from dragging and leaving inconsistent burn marks on the wood.
It’s not the most fun task in the world, but it must be done and done well.
Sanding is dusty, try to avoid breathing it in.
Basswood is good for burning on. Avoid wood with knots. Avoid pine and other sappy woods.
Do not burn into glues or plastics. Beware of thin wood glued together in layers, do not burn too deeply.
Summary:
Buy some sand paper of varying grits.
Buy some wooden blanks (basswood is best).
Starting with rough grit (lower numbered) sandpaper, work the paper all over the wooden blank removing any splinters or uneven edges.
Folding the sand paper in half or using a sandpaper holder makes this process easier.
Next move up to medium grit sandpaper, repeating the same process of removing any unevenness in the wood.
Finally move up to finer grit sandpapers and rub the wood until it is completely smooth.
Materials:
Wooden blanks
Sandpaper grits 100, 150 and 220
Sandpaper holder (optional)
