When i get home tonight i will look up a book i bought on pyrography. It is excellent.. ill post a link to it after i find it. As far as turning instruction. Join the American Association of Woodturners. You get 6 issues of American Woodturner and 6 online issues of Woodturning Fundamentals and you get acess to all of yhr back issues. That alone is worth thr price of admission. They also have a resourse for videos that have been reviewed and show safe accurate turning processes.

There are 3 or 4 inexpensive books that I've learned a great deal from. Probably the best (because it has a section by Cynthia Gibson) is a 3 magazine style series of books. They are a " special interest publication of Scroll Saw Woodworking and crafts" The title is Pyrography The art and craft of woodburning. The other one that I like is Introduction to Pyrography by Daniel Wright. Also any book by Laura Irish however the ones listed were good.

In my continuing series of unabashed plugs for the North Carolina Symposium the first weekend on November, Cynthia Carden Gibson will be doing five rotations. Do come join us. Her topics are:

Embellish your world! Pyrography 101: Cynthia will share the basics of her style of Pyroengraving. Attendees will take away information on the wood choices best suited for pyrography, preparation of turnings, preferred tools, the use of those tools and finishing your work. You are sure to

leave this demo armed with the tools needed to begin your journey into pyrography.

Inspiration and Embellishment: How do you come up with signature designs? What gives your work a unique quality or voice? In this slide show, Cynthia hopes to encourage self-discovery and show how a look inside can bring out unique qualities in your work as she tells her stories and those of others through her collaborative path in woodturning.

Translating embellishment to a 3D surface and adding color to your work: Cynthia will discuss and demonstrate her approach to implementing designs on a 3D surface, designing turnings for embellishment, choosing the best design for the shape of your artwork and adding color to your work.

The website is being updated from the 2015 version so this year's listing may not be current yet - it is changing one piece at a time.

Hopefully I got all the spelling right this time.
