Pyrography (Brandmalerei)

is the technique to apply a motive to a surface by heat, with tools similar to a soldering iron.

Working on wood therefor is called "woodburning".  The working process is a rather slow one –

every piece is unique. In this technique I do different stuff from decorative kitchen items,

up to detailed artwork/portraits, each done on the best materials I can find,

like basswood, birch and others...
