Book Reviews of Gourd Pyrography

Book Review: Excellent Book on Gourd Art and Techniques
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is one of the best for Gourd art ideas.
The photos are fabulous and it gave me tons
of ideas for patterns and techniques on gourd
design and pyrography (woodburning).
No cheap, kindergarten art here.
It looks very professional.
Easy to understand, great for beginners
or even advanced artists.
I highly recommend it.

Summary of Gourd Pyrography

Etched and painted with fire and heat, pyrographed gourds have existed for generations-and now modern tools and solid state woodburning systems have made doing fine detail work simpler than ever. Every amply illustrated page and project teaches and inspires, as a parade of fine artists discuss their tools, reveal their techniques, and above all go through each step of the process. They explain how to pick and prepare a suitable gourd; form delicate lines, spirals, and curves; and work through intricate designs. Among the awe-inspiring projects: a pyrographed Frog gourd, basket, and several pieces of jewelry.
