Welcome to Wood Burn Society

Come for the pyrography, the templates, the guides and the tips and stay for the wildly fun community that makes your creative journey better. Whether you’re the new burner who is tracing stencils, the shy burner who quietly lurks in the background, the loud-mouth enthusiast who types in all caps, the perfectionist who measures every line twice, or the chaotic burner who just “wings it” every time, we’ve got a spot for you in the community. In the Wood Burn Society we burn things, become friends, support each other, and laugh through out the creative journey.

Why is Life and Wood Burning Better With Friends?

Shared joy and laughter is contagious. Creativity and inspiration need connection. Encouragement and support changes everything. This is why we burn together!

Learning Center

Wood burning is a journey filled with triumphs, burnt fingertips, and that one time you set off the smoke alarm at 2 AM. Whether you’re a beginner trying not to set your workspace on fire or an experienced burner leveling up your skills, we’ve got something for you.

Learn, evolve, and try not to pass out from noxious fumes from sketchy wood you found behind a dumpster. (Seriously, don’t do that.)

We have the safety tips and knowledge to help keep you alive (important!) and to start producing Wood Burned Wonders while enjoying the meditative process of wood burning.

I read sanding guide article. Really it’s very helpful to me. Thanks.

Thank you very much for this advice/tip about not pressing hard on the wood. As a beginner, I find this key in my learning the art

I am very happy to have found this page of yours . . . I built a pyrography work with the image of a bullfighter named Manolete and from there I made others for friends

Virtual Museum

Ever dreamed of your wood-burning wonder hanging in a prestigious museum? Well, this is the internet version of that… and arguably even cooler since it will be viewed by other burners who understand your struggles and triumphs. Plus your wood burned creations deserves to be admired by more than just your cat and your mom. We are here to make sure your work gets the attention it deserves, “Superstar” should be your middle name.

Right now we are spotlighting “Featured Artists” within the wood burning community. We are currently accepting submissions. There are no fees and it is open to local & international burners of all skill levels and any subject/style that is in good taste.

Our “Unofficial” Mission

We exist because wood burning isn’t just a technique, it’s a slightly unhinged obsession that makes our homes smell like a rustic forest fire in the best possible way. We’re here for the burners who hoard wood slices like a dragon, and who get way too excited about a perfectly burnt line. Our mission? To give pyrography the respect it deserves, to hype up burners who finally nail that gradient shading, and to create a space where “I just spent three hours burning a tiny owl into a spoon” is met with the enthusiasm it deserves. Together, we’re building a community where wood burning is not just appreciated… but celebrated like the fine art form (and mildly flammable lifestyle choice) that it is! We want artists to come for the pyrography, and stay for the wildly fun community that makes every creative journey better.

Official Mission Statement

Our mission is to increase awareness and appreciation of wood burned art by helping artists publicize their work, increase their web presence, build their skills, and by giving them a vibrant community where they can connect with each other in meaningful ways.

Official Vision of the Future

Wood burned artwork would be appreciated and respected in the same manner as watercolor painting, oil painting, pen & ink, and the other traditional art techniques. Our wood burned masterpieces would be hung in the most prestigious galleries and museums for the public to enjoy. Our community of wood burning artists would be filled with many people from different backgrounds that are eager to learn the techniques and share their creativity.
