Woodburning with Cheryl Dow I
$14.95
Cheryl Dow’s first book includes 14 different patterns: Raccoon, Wolf (full
body), Squirrel, Owl, Barn Scene, Lighthouse, Fox & Barn (cover, shown
here), Merganser, Pintail, Chickadee, Butterfly, Fawn, Moose, and her now
famous "Wolf Head". Again, there are three versions of each pattern, complete
with detailed instructions.
The preface and instructions are pretty much the same (outstanding) for both
books. Although this book does not have a calligraphy table, Cheryl does give
some directions, and what materials you'll need, on how to use transparent oils
to colors your pyrography.
After using two other top selling brands, Cheryl now uses the Optima 1 wood
burner exclusively; and recommends it to all of her students. Her favorite
Optima pens, used throughout both of these books are the PH12 (small skew
w/ rounded heel), and the PH18 (Spear Point Shader). Be sure to have both of
these pens when purchasing one of her books. A Heavy Duty cord is also
recommended for most types of flat work pyrography.

Woodburning with Cheryl Dow II
$14.95
An award winning artist and teacher, Cheryl Dow has just released her latest
book on flat work wildlife pyrography techniques. The cover, shown here, is
an example of her outstanding work.
If your wanting to learn how to do flat work pyrography, you can’t find better
books on teaching this subject. This newest book is an addition her previous
published works, with some new techniques and new patterns.
Ten patterns are included in this book which include: Loon (w/baby), Mouse,
Raccoons, Lynx, Chipmunk, Frog, Barn, Heron (cover), Deer, and a Wolf
pattern.
Also included is a calligraphy table, showing letters, technique, and flow lines.
Although Cheryl uses the #12 pen to do her calligraphy, I recommend using a
#16 or #8 pen (depending on letter sizes) as it is a bit easier to do.
A finished, and flow line pattern are included with each outline pattern. So
you can see what it should look like, and which way to burn lines/shading.
Each pattern also includes detailed instructions, and any technique not covered
in the preface.
