My boyfriend is in a whole other room while I’m watching this and out of nowhere he says “She sounds like a nice lady.” 😂 He’s so right. Your energy is so calming and the way you explain things is so digestible and easy to focus on. You are a born teacher. Just can’t thank you enough for creating this content. P.S. I am now obsessed with wood burning time lapses and compilations with calming music. *wink wink* *nudge nudge * 😁
Your channel inspired me to buy some wood discs and dust off the wood burning kit I bought years ago and never used. I love your content and I’m so grateful to you for sharing. Your work is so beautiful and I felt like I could be really good at this, too! Just a feeling. But you really inspired me. Thank you so much!
Exactly the video I needed to see! Your video and your response to Jessica swayed me. Colwood it is. Thanks for this outstanding review. Subscribed and looking forward to watching more.
Thank you for this video! It was very helpful. I was co side ring purchasing a cheaper one to start out but after this video, I can see that I just need to invest a little more to get what I need. Thanks so much!
I commented on the another comparison vid you did. The one I am use is the walnut hallow you displayed in this video. I feel at this point I have outgrown it and ready for that upgrade
Thanks Harley! I'm glad to hear you're ready to upgrade. It's exciting to go from the brass tips to the wire tips. There's a big difference in the efficiency and heat.
@@Pyrocrafters I heard it can heat up the wand to where it expands and breaks or has problems. Is that a known problem or is there a way I can avoid it?
This video is just what I needed! I'm upgrading from a crappy cheap Amazon "wood burner" to a professional one, and this answered a lot of questions. I really like the Truart and Colwood, but I want to burn on bones too. Do you think they are hot enough to burn bone or do I need the Burnmaster?
Hey Evi! I’ve never burned bones, but these burners get hot at a level that is excessive for wood, so I’m feel like the higher levels would work on bones.
Im here in Huntsville AL, i got the Walnut hallow, it worked well but i used a really HARD WOOD to burn on, i used the shader tip to get my fine lines and shades. ONLY THING I DID NOT LIKE - THE HEAT IN THE WAND, makes the metal expand, that made the tip start to get loose, so i had to use pliars to tighten it after heating, but i let it cool down like that... it locked up on the TIP like mad, so i had to heat it back up to get the tip back out....only draw back on it, its not fast, so it lets you develope your skill, before you put speed to it....LIke a teen driving, you do not get them a BMW for the first car, you get them something okay, so they can learn first.
Hey Veronica! I change it up a lot just to keep a good rotation going. I guess I use my Colwood the most. It's the burner I learned how to wood burn with, so I have a stronger comfort level with it. Thanks for watching!
Not that I know of, but from the looks of the razertip tips on the site, it may be a possible to insert the razertip tips into the Truart wand. The razertip wands I have are solid fixed tips, not separable, so I’m not 100% sure if they will fit. That’s a good question. I’m glad you asked cause I never thought about the interchangeability there. Let me see what I can find out and I’ll get back to you.
Hello - Great review of these burners. I am just getting started in pyrography, and am going to be working on a variety of media - gourds, leather, wood, and paper. I have looked at all the pro burners you reviewed, and am leaning toward the Razertip product line, but am also considering the Optima line as well. Have you used this burner?
I have not used the Optima, but I’ve heard great things about it from a load of other pyrographers. I’m glad it was all helpful info. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for video. Per your video i just purchased the Walnut Hollow for $60 at Hobby Lobby. Love it. I just can't do the $200 ones at least not yet. Lol But the WH is soooooo of much better than the soldering ones I've been using. Thank you again. I saw in comments you like the Colwood for $200... maybe for Christmas, :)
Awesome. Thanks. So ive benn looking for one in amazon. And i saw the wep 939ii. Its not that expensive and i think it coule be good. Im from chile so, if i wanna buy something of cuality, pyrographers in this case, u gotta purchase it from amazon.
Hey Rob, have you seen my video, Learn to Wood Burn in 5 Minutes? There's great tips in there for beginners to get started and my channel is loaded with other content and tips. ruclips.net/video/vg2_BDRxzrc/видео.html Thanks for watching!
Hey Pamela! There are a lot of great brands out there. You can't go wrong with Razertip, Truart, Optima, Colwood. It comes down to deciding what's the most important feature and price range for you, then choosing the brand that fits that need. Do you need a lot of variety in a brand? Is customer service important? Do you need a really hot burner? Do you want a cooler wand? What's your budget?
What about tip kit only for solder irons? Anyone try that? Let me explain. I repair small electronics. So I use solder irons rework stations etc. I have an old rework station that the heat gun no longer works. So I got a new unit. I thought about using the solder iron to burn wood. I don’t want to do much art per say. I just want to wood burn those little wood tags.
Hey there! You can use a solder tool to burn wood, just keep in mind to use light pressure. Solder tips are typically long, and they easily break in wood burning. Don’t push too hard, and you should be okay with it.

Finally upgrading after a year I'm so excited. Thank you for the video!
That's great! What are you going to get?
thank you for sharing this info and your experience with them. exactly the information I was looking for!

I’m kind of late to this video. I was wondering if I should get wh to start off and see if it goes well. Thanks for the help!
A Walnut Hollow is a great place to start. It's a small investment. If you like it and want to continue, you can upgrade later.

Did you make the wood block where you placed your tips in the video? If not, where did you find that? Thanks.
Hey Susan, I got these on Amazon. They are 4x4 basswood squares. They come in bulk packs. I use them for testing stuff so I don’t waste good wood
Thanks for putting out the comparrison videos!!
You bet!
Great video ,,thank you 😊
Thank you for the review. Which of your professional wood burners do you use the most and why?
Hey Veronica! I change it up a lot just to keep a good rotation going. I guess I use my Colwood the most. It's the burner I learned how to wood burn with, so I have a stronger comfort level with it. Thanks for watching!
Hi ,
Thanks for sharing this video,
Which one you suggest for beginners
Does the truart have an adapter for razor tip's tips?
Not that I know of, but from the looks of the razertip tips on the site, it may be a possible to insert the razertip tips into the Truart wand. The razertip wands I have are solid fixed tips, not separable, so I’m not 100% sure if they will fit.

@@Pyrocrafters thank you, it'll be interesting to see what you find out.

Hello.... I'm from Selma, I was wondering do you teach in-person classes on wood burning?
Thanks so much for video. Per your video i just purchased the Walnut Hollow for $60 at Hobby Lobby. Love it. I just can't do the $200 ones at least not yet. Lol But the WH is soooooo of much better than the soldering ones I've been using. Thank you again. I saw in comments you like the Colwood for $200... maybe for Christmas, :)
I hear ya! They are pricey, the wire tip WH is great, especially for changing those tips. It’s so much easier.
Kindly tell which wood using
Thank you, awesome video!
You bet!

Good info. Thank you.
*note your link to Colwood Super Pro II, just goes to amazon's main page.
Thank you for letting me know! I’ll get it updated. In the meantime, you can find all their stuff at www.woodburning.com
Unfortunately they don't sell the TruArt , Colwwod or Razertip P80 here in Aus
Have you tried Optima or Burnmaster? They offer international options as well, but I'm not sure where they ship. They are both good kits. :)
@@Pyrocrafters I ended up ordering the Colwood Super Pro 2 Deluxe kit
I noticed the burnmaster is not as good
Thanks Nikki!
