Essendo il terzo manuale di pirografia che leggo, una buona parte delle nozioni e tecniche illustrate mi era già nota. Ho però apprezzato l'attenzione particolare all'utilizzo delle texture e alla loro realizzazione, e l'estrema quantità di dettagli contenuta nei progetti, che vengono spiegati davvero passo per passo.

This book is just amazing. If you could woodburn like this book, you could seriously make money at craft shows. It's a more advanced book, although it says it is for beginners. Some of the projects are extremely advanced. Nice pictures and examples. Wish I could do this. Great book.
