Wood burning a wooden mortar - photos + video of the process

in #art8 years ago

 

This pyrography post is about a wooden mortar. Join me as I make my design on this piece. My idea was of course to add spices to its exterior.

Here is the packaged wooden mortar and pestle received from my sister. I will be making some drawings only on the mortar and not on the pestle.

First I did my research to help me decide which spices I will pick as my models.I left out small spices like black pepper because I felt they would not look that nice. I picked something more complex in shape. Using a 2B pencil I made drawings of basil, ginger root, garlic, cloves, star anise and cinnamon. Any pencil traces can be erased with a rubber.


 This is how the mortar turned out. After making the main lines of each spice I added some shading.

 You can watch the whole process of me wood burning this mortar. It's at 16x speed. I was moving so fast the camera lost its focus sometimes.

This is so cool @anca3drandom
I am really impressed with the shading and fine lines, especially with a wood burning tool!

Thank you. For the shading you have to move fast, and not press hard with the tip.

Another great make you really are tempting me to invest in a pyrography set.

:) You can make great gifts! Besides your crochet.

Good job!

Great burning action. I love your intricate designs!

Thank you! You can make your own design now that you have a pyrography tool :)

I know, I have been building up the courage to face it again lol!

Small steps then :)

I love the way you can take every day item's we don't tend to think about and turn them into something so beautiful, special and unique.
Amazing work.
Well done and thank you. X
