Can you woodburn bamboo

I looked up translations on the How to Say In site. Simple wood burning is surprisingly easy. More intricate designs would certainly take practice with all the various tips. I made a recipe box with wood burning stamps that I am finishing up and will post about soon. I have heard more and more people talking about these box programs. This is a great project and I love how it turned out! Did you put a sealer or anything over it at the end? I just rubbed the bamboo with olive oil.

I have another project that will becoming up that I stained and sealed. I do also. Just having trouble figuring out how to do the stencil. Is there a specific tutorial for this that you know of?

I really want to do this, but am concerned about dealing and food bacteria?! I've been wondering how long it would take for someone to ask about bamboo pyrography techniques Now the day has arrived and I'm not prepared! Well, all I needed was your spark of interest, so I'll start with a ramble I picked up a temperature controlled wood burner a couple years ago, and have had several 'sessions' using it. A rewarding experience it has been!

I have never in my life had a talent nor much aspiration to draw, so I really began to learn how to draw doing bamboo pyrography, mostly working with bamboo 'in the round'.

I have more pics of pyro experiments, tools and techniques, which I'll work on getting uploaded soon. Hopefully others will chip in with their experiences too.

Re: Your bamboo cutting boards Is it the type that has different shaped screw-on tips? Have you used this tool on other woods? It's good to practice with the burner first, know how hot it needs to be to produce the desired impressions, and try out the tips to achieve various effects. Pyrographic results on a bamboo cutting board will be different to working with bamboo in the round. I will write more about this after hearing back from you.

Pyrography on bamboo- yes or no? Bamboo is fine. Like you said, there will be glue lines which aren't great, so either work in a really well ventilated area outside would be best or wear a mask. Bamboo is such a difficult and noisy wood to work on. It is definitely not my favorite, but I love bamboo as a cutting board, so here I am, burning bamboo. With bamboo, you want to be extra… More. These wood burned spoons are food safe as the designs are burned in.

The designs are initially painted on, with this print on wood technique but the ink is then destroyed through burning with the heated tool. This means the designs will not rub off or wear down over time. You can either buy or make a cutting board.

You know which route I chose. I mean, it is The House of Wood after all! First, use a table saw to rip the boards to the same width about an inch and a half , then lay them out in a pattern. I alternated the hard and curly maple wood and turned them on edge for a thicker board. Tight-grained, dense hardwood species like maple, walnut, or bamboo are superb choices for making cutting boards.

Wood with a more open grain, like red oak, are not ideal because the open grain can harbor bacteria and other yucky stuff. Glue, clamp, and let the glue dry for at least a couple of hours. And believe me, if I can cut down on any task, that task would be sanding. It truly is the bane of my existence. I left the board in the clamps to dry overnight, just for kicks.
