Scott’s pyrography
In August, I started trying wood burning. Earlier in the summer, Radio Shack was going out of business. I headed down there to see if anything was left on the shelves. I grabbed a couple cables, and as I was checking out, the manager pointed out a new soldering iron was left. I snagged it for just a couple bucks as a cheap backup. After a few weeks, I was looking at the packaging and noticed it had “hobby tips.” After further inspection, it appears to have come with wood burning tips as well. So I ordered some carbon paper to trace images, grabbed some scrap cedar from Deva’s dad and gave it a go. It was fairly successful from the first attempt, so I kept on. Since then, I upgraded to a slightly better pen.
Seattle – 2017
My best friend in the world, James B. retired after serving 20 years in the USCG. I traveled to Seattle to visit him for the first time in years. Her’s a few pics of our time there. We visited Mt. Rainier, Jimi Hendrix’s grave, downtown Seattle, the Coast Guard base and PX.
