Pyrography books are rare and this book is a welcome addition to a Pyrographers bookcase. Concise and informative it might be, although, complete it is not. Pyrography on wood is covered, but misses out mentioning it's usage on Leather or paper. The wood discussed, is of English or European origin and is of no use to Australian Pyrographers. Other than those shortcomings,This is a good reference book for hints and tips on this fascinating craft

I found the book very hard to read.It seemed to be geared more toward the art in england and more helpful if you were to attend his classes.However there was some very good information and gives the student alot of freedom to branch out with thier own style,but for someone completly new to the art of pyrography I needed more step by step illustrations and helpful hints.All in all the book made me want to strive for more of an artistic result in my work.This book could be helpful but not the only book you need if you are starting out or trying to learn this on your own.

This is a fantastic book, if you live in Europe and use the type of pyrography equipment that the author does. He does a wonderful job of explaining the techniques and features of the equipment he uses....
However, if you are a beginner in the US and use the type of equipment that most beginners here use, you will be hopelessly lost and have no idea of what to do and how to get started.
I have found the equipment he uses for sale on the web and as a beginner could not see myself ordering a $200+ system to learn with...
It is a shame, because the information is fantastic, but without the right equipment, useless.

If you are looking a book of this subject. Then this is it. This book gives you all what you need in the start and it helps you to develope your own skills. Rest is up to you....

I am new to pyrography and found the information in this book very helpful. It is presented in a clear and concise manner and the illustrations are also quite good. One word of caution, much of this material is from his other book, Pyrography Handbook. Don't buy both...

I found this book to be very well rounded and very well written. It was easy to follow with excellent samples. There were helpful hints on presenting our crafts. I would recommend it for anyone interested in pyrography.
