Just as there is often a story behind a handcrafted piece, there is a story behind Woodburning with Style. That story begins with award-winning artist and pyrographer Simon Easton, who has dubbed his fresh, artistic creations "wood tattoos" not only because of the visual similarity in the drawing and creative process, but because each finished piece has a distinctive story to tell.

With his contemporary flair and creative use of pattern and texture, Easton takes you on a journey from the concepts and basics of woodburning to tips and techniques that encourage your creativity and the development of style. Step-by-step projects such as coasters, key rings, and a wall clock are mixed in with lessons on everything from making simple marks to texturing and lettering.

If you are a beginner, Woodburning with Style will have you wanting to learn more, and if you are an experienced pyrographer, you will be inspired by Easton's designs.

Regardless of your artistic ability, woodburning is a rewarding craft that's practically infinite in its applications.

Whether you're a beginner or have been woodburning for years, Woodburning with Style will inspire and inform you with its beautiful designs, expert techniques, and creative vision. Get burning!
