I found a woodburning kit with extra tips for 12.99 at Michaels ( a
hobby store)
and went downstairs and set up for my big experiment. I tried the tip
it
came with but it was very sharp and made nice cutting marks but I
wanted a different more rounded , wider line.
Anyway, cooled it off and then changed the nib or tip and practiced on
some paint sticks. I drew some level lines with a ruler and started
marking my beautiful wooden keepsake box. It looked pretty darn
good and now I will try it on other things . Very handy marking tool!
Thanks to all you who helped.

Lathes! where can I get one of them? it sounds like an interesting
tool. It doesn't involve stucco does it?
Have fun with it Robbielynn, but don't breathe in too many fumes

Careful guys, I think I see the beginnings of addiction here. ;-) No
one tell her about lathes, and how much fun even a little one can be, and
how it's almost instant gratification in turning wood in to art!
Uh... Oops!
