Skew tips
There are two types primarily of skew tips that can be used for pyrography. They are the rounded and the ball. Ball tips are easy to use when carving in cursive or drawing straight lines.

How To
How to stain wood
Stain wood is a process that involves applying chemicals to the surface of wood, which changes its color. This chemical reaction causes the wood to change from white to brownish red. The most common type of wood used for staining is oak, although many other types of wood can be stained.
There are many methods to apply stain to wood surfaces. One method involves mixing the stain and a solvent and then spraying it on the wood. You can also apply a solution containing water and dye directly to the wooden surface. You can mix stains into varnishes or paints to make them part of your finish coat.
Preparing your wood for staining is the first thing to do. Clean the wood to get rid of any grease, dirt or other substances that might be detrimental to the stain's application. Sanding the wood removes scratches and imperfections. Then you must decide what kind of stain you want to use. There are two basic kinds of stains: penetrating stains and non-penetrating stains. Penetrating stains penetrate deeper than non-penetrating stains, which makes them great for dark colors like mahogany. The best non-penetrating colors are those that work with light colors like maple.
After you've decided what type of stain to apply, get ready for your tools. A paintbrush works well for applying stains because it allows you to spread the liquid evenly across the surface. It is a good idea to have rags on hand in case you need them to clean up any stains that may remain after you have finished painting. If you plan on mixing the stain yourself make sure that you have enough containers to hold the different components.
After you have prepared your materials, clean the area you intend to stain. To remove dirt and dust, use warm water and soap. You can wipe down the entire furniture using a damp rag with clean water. Make sure you eliminate any loose debris, especially if you plan to stain darker wood.
The stain should be applied next. Next, apply the stain to the furniture by starting at one end. Slowly and carefully work your way along the grain to reach the opposite end. Be careful not to let the stain drip off the wood's edge. Before moving on to the next steps, allow the stain drying completely.
Protect the painted surface with a coat polyurethane paint sealant. Three coats are recommended for polyurethane. Allow the third coat to dry overnight before sanding the final coat.
