    Michele, Is it OK to woodburn on cedar? Thank you.

    • @KlingsporsWoodworkingShop
      @KlingsporsWoodworkingShop  Před rokem +10

      It is okay to burn on cedar. However, some people find the fumes are an irritant to their lungs. Even if they don’t have an issue with it, the other people in the house may find it irritating. You can use a carbon-activated filter fan to reduce the fumes in the air.
      The other thing to consider with cedar is that burning on the outer sapwood, which is a light color, shows up well but burning on the red heartwood is hard to see. As the wood ages, the red heartwood will get darker. In addition, the heartwood will darken when you add a clear finish to the piece. Both will make it hard to see your burning. You can burn the image darker than usual to keep it visible. Also, do not use lacquer as a finish because it will deepen the heartwood to a dark red/black color. I recommend using polyurethane or polyacrylic as a finish.

    One of the best intro to techniques videos I have ever seen. And the link to the rotating table was a jewel to find. I ordered one today. Can't wait to try it. Thank you. Update: I received my rotating table in Dec 2020 and find it to be a great tool; especially since it allows you to adjust the angle of the project should you need to burn at a different angle, and rotating the project is easy to do, using the accompanying wedge to keep the turntable in one place.

    Ah.... This explained so much! Thank you!
    I've tried to learn to shade on whittling projects (which are not flat). I can spend tens of hours with detail work and then massacre it all when insisting adding fire to affect that beautiful surface. But with a open flame it only takes a small mistake to ruin hours.
    I'll try to train on the methods you shown in this video!

One comment on the commercial about Lomi, which I know you have no control over. I'm just making a comment for everyone on this product - they claim "stop food waste." This is kind of ridiculous, seeing that their plastic product will probably break after a certain period of time and will end up at the dump. What a gimmick.

    I've been doing many crafts in the past and I got into ''torch paste'' which I really enjoyed tho I have ''entertained the idea of ''wood burning''. Well,my three son's have so much confidence in me and they invested a ''wood burning tool kit'' as a Christmas gift. They are such wonderful people and they want me to pursue in ''wood burning'' as it is more of an ''art'' than a ''craft'' in my opinion. A question we all had was ''can you go over your ''torch paste'' heat gun burnt image and give it more of the ''wood burning" effect(tho I thought it might give off fumes from the torch paste). I hope this question makes sense. Thank you and I've learned alot from your video.
