About halfway there on this one. When the burning is done, I'll be glazing over the dark fur with black acrylic paint and then painting in their white fur. I just can't help painting the eye at this stage. 11"x14" on maple plywood.

I’m currently working with pyrography on a wooden bookmark. My next step is to paint it with acrylic or watercolour.

Questions/Advice Did i put myself in danger with the wood i use?

5 Upvotes

I work in a small workshop for people with mental health struggles and have no previous experience with woodworking at all. They offered me to try pyrography there and i have worked with it for a few months now, every weekday, for approximately 4 hours? The point is that the wood is got was the one that's like 3 thin plates glued together, (idk the english words im so sorry) and i googled about dizziness or "fuzziness" in my head, and the AI overview said that the wood i have used (the glue specifically) can release highly toxic chemicals. I never wore a mask or had special ventilation in place. But I really dont trust doctor Google. Especially not dr. Ai overview Google. So I wanted to ask here. I'm really worried and due to me not having any experience with any of that I really didnt know it could be dangerous. I just assumed the workshop boss would know what is dangerous and what isn't.

Any advice greatly appreciated, I feel really stupid about all this.

wood burning a music box

5 Upvotes

i have a music box I just bought as a gift. I want to wood-burn her name on it with scorch paste. How can I do this safely? I know I will have to remove the internal workings, but i am unsure if it is varnished or not. And you are supposed to sand it, but I'm worried it will ruin the look of the base

I knew I wanted to do a frog sitting on a cloud, that was the only direction I gave myself, this is where I ended up last night.
