Weekly discussion thread #1, Wood Grain

Welcome to the first weekly discussion thread on r/Pyrography!

I wanted to start our weekly discussions off with a conversation about wood grain and the different types of wood all of you enjoy using. I thought this would be a good topic to start off on since it's important to have a good understanding of our medium in order to get the most out of it.

Some ideas for conversation topics:

• What types of wood do you like to burn on?
• How wood grain impacts your work?
• Where do you get the wood you work on?
• How to prepare a board before starting your woodburn?
• What are some types of wood you've tried burning on before?
• How does burning on end grain compare with burning on face grain?
• General questions that are on your mind?

I hope this topic is interesting enough to prompt some good discussions. If not, let me know! I'll try and post a discussion every Monday going forward, so if you have a topic you're interested on learning about/discussing, please don't hesitate to let me know.
