Additional Tools

Additional tools for drawing and planning your artwork include:

• Sandpaper and sanding blocks (a foam core surrounded with sanding material) are great for smoothing your pieces and doing touch-up work on woodburnings. Use finer-grit sanding material, like 220 or 320, as coarser grits can leave visible scratches in your work.

• Craft or hobby knives are extremely useful for scraping off mistakes made with a woodburner and they are more precise than sandpaper.

• Pencils for sketching. Use a softer and lighter lead, like 2B or 4B, that can be easily removed and won’t leave indentations in the wood.

• An eraser. I have found that the best kind to use on wood is a kneaded rubber eraser. This is a gray, malleable eraser that you can press down onto pencil marks to remove, without leaving markings or little pieces of eraser behind.

• Spray-on acrylic sealers are a great and easy way to finish and protect painted wood pieces, and they are usually available in various matte and gloss versions.

• Polyurethane is a brush-on sealer available in gloss, semi-gloss, matte, and satin versions.
