Where it all started

13 years ago I was doing all my stuff via wood burner/pyrography tool by hand. I had gotten to the point of making a holder that could hold 4 of them due to having a variety to get the job done. This was one of my first projects

A huge amount of work there. Do you ever calculate the time difference for a design between doing it by hand, and using the laser?

I have not, this took me about 6 hours that first time and 3 hours a few years later on. I’m sure the laser could bang it out quickly but the aroma of wood burning, the process, making sure you are using the right technique, and turning off your brain and letting your muscle memory take over as you “color with fire”, it’s all worth it imo
