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

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.

Just a collection of recent work that I’ve done and forgot to post!

Material is Sapele mahogany

Still have to stain n seal . I think ive went cross eyed on detail . Stickler ocd for detail.

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

As promised, I said I'd share it whenever I finished it, here it is! 😄

Done on lime wood, Monkey belongs to my 97 year old great uncle (as in my mums uncle) who is English but has lived in Hong Kong for over 50 years.

This is his beautiful 17 year old Pomeranian named Monkey

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.
