Wood burning looks simple and rewards a patient build-up. Start with the tools, tips, and how heat and wood interact, then the fundamental strokes and the shading that turns lines into tone and depth, then patterns and applying the craft to wood, leather, and gourds. Most beginners fight scorched, uneven lines because they skipped stroke control. Learn your iron and the basic marks first, then shading, then real projects.
