Mesh stencil
Mesh stencils can be used to create your own unique style of burning wood. These stencils can be bought separately from Torch Paste.

Graphite stencil
A graphite template is useful if you are looking to burn patterns or designs into wood. You can download free graphite stencil patterns online and use them to guide your flame while you burn the wood. You can then remove the stencil with a damp cloth. Use the stencil on unburned wood and then color the design with oil pencils. It is essential to have a graphite template before you start.
The transfer tip must be heated to create a graphite pattern for burning wood. Then, you should remove the paper to transfer the design to the wood.

How To
How to make wood joint
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We will use the "pockethole joint," which means that we drill holes in the wooden pieces and then glue them together. This method works great if your wood is straight and smooth. Try dowel joinery instead if your wood doesn't look straight. These are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. First, measure the area where you wish to place the pocket joint. You will then drill 3/4" deep holes through each piece of wood with a jigsaw, handheld drilling machine, or hand-held drill.
-
Sand Smooth. You can sand the edges of the wood to ensure that it doesn't split.
-
Glue together. Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes before you clamp the pieces together.
-
Attach the Pieces together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. After the glue dries completely, trim off any excess wood around the joint.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
