The blue on the tail feathers is a combination of Classic Green and Aqua GourdMaster™ Ink Dyes and then a thin layer of Deep Turquoise Metallic Ink for a little shine!

Get a New Pen for Your Razertip Woodburner!
Pens starting at Just $27.50!

Wood Burners are used to outline and shade designs on gourds. It is usually the first step in gourd art because the wood burned lines gives your design definition and also helps to contain your ink dye or acrylic colors. There are 2 types basic types of wood burning pens: Blade Style and Shading.

Blade Style

Blade style pens come in a variety of tips and are meant to cut through the surface of the gourd and leave a defined, bold line that will contain your colors. Below are some popular tips in Blade style pens and their uses:

  • The Large Skew is included in the Razertip Wood Burning Kit and is great for making long straight lines and basic outlines. Use the pointed tip for curved lines.
  • The Medium Spear is a favorite because you can use the tip for small areas, and the sides for larger areas. You can also lay the pen flat to shade/darken small areas.

 

Shading Pens

Shading pens also come in a variety of tips and are meant to darken the surface of the gourd rather than cut through. Use shading pens to add definition and depth by darkening the surface. Below are some of the most popular shading pens and their uses:

  • Writing Pen- It's flat and blunt tip makes this ideal for shading areas of all sizes. Use it to shade depth like in a faux basket weave!
  • Spoon Shader- It's flat "spoon" is used to shade larger areas. Turn the pen over to cut small curved lines when wood burning detailed feathers.

Letters from Customers

"I just wanted you to know how much I like the Fili-Point Burr. It is the best burr I've used for doing filigree cut work. Unlike other pointed burrs that leave ridges, the Fili-Point makes a nice clean cut the first time and saves a step. It can be used for doing small filigree as well as large cut outs. Welburn you got a keeper with this one." - Gloria Crane

***************************

"Thanks for my filli-point burrs. I have been having a wonderful time playing with the burr. Wish I'd had one years ago! Keep up the good work." - Simone Doherty

***************************

"The [Fili-Point Burr] is awesome! I love that I can just plunge it right into the gourd and it doesn't grab.   Because of its size it fits into tiny corners, so I can cut really intricate shapes. The cutting action is powerful and so smooth, like cutting through butter, so it leaves a clean edge - this means less sanding for me (always a good thing!). From tiny filigree holes to larger cut-outs, this burr easily does it all!" - Mary Gehley
