When choosing the best wood for pyrography, there are 7 points that will help make your decision easier.
1. Wood Toxicity
That might seem like a no-brainer, but I've seen people talk about wanting to burn things like oleander. That literally puts off toxic fumes like poison ivy does when it burns. Don't burn toxic or poisonous woods!
2. Raw, Untreated, Dry Wood
This is the best wood for wood burning. Again, we're avoiding toxicity here.
3. Hard vs Soft
I'm not talking scientific terms - I'm talking about actual hardness and softness. For example, basswood and poplar are scientifically "hardwoods" - but both are physically softer than white fir which is scientifically a "softwood".
Your decision here is mostly based on your opinion... but if your project is functional - like a cutting board or a piece of furniture - then this can make a huge difference.
4. Smooth Grain
Rough grain will fight you as you burn. Smooth grain doesn't.
5. Color Variations
Again, this goes back to preference.
6. Live Edge vs Not
Do you like bark? If so, go for live edge.
7. Slabs vs Slices
The cut of wood makes a difference on the grain and how much you have to fight it (or not fight it).
Once you know what matters most and gained an opinion on your favorite kinds of wood, choosing the best wood for wood burning will be a breeze!
