How to Use SVG Files for Wood Burning

- Lay graphite transfer paper on wood, carbon side down
- Trace all lines with a ballpoint pen

Best SVG Styles for Pyrography
High-contrast line art works best. Avoid complex gradients — minimum line width should be 1mm. Mandalas, wildlife portraits, and Celtic knots are most popular.
- Mandala: intricate but systematic
- Wildlife: bear, wolf, deer, eagle
- Celtic knots: geometric, consistent line width
- Floral: roses, sunflowers
- Quotes in serif or script fonts
Frequently Asked Questions
What SVG style is best for wood burning beginners?
Simple outlines with bold, clear lines — mandalas and geometric designs. Avoid fine details until you have pen control.
Can I directly engrave SVG with a laser instead of hand burning?
Yes — laser engraving is faster and more precise, but hand pyrography gives a warmer, handcrafted look.
What wood is best for pyrography?
Basswood is softest for beginners. Birch gives finer grain. Avoid pine — resin pockets burn unevenly.
How do I scale an SVG to fit my wood blank?
Measure your blank, then set document size to match when printing or in your SVG editor.
