You may ask, "Why is a wood burning tip necessary?" After all, a transfer tip will be the only thing between you and the surface that you want to burn. A variety of products can carry a wood burning tip, including a portable base that can accommodate it. You should understand how to add a transfer tip and use it on a wood burner before making any purchases.
Carbon paper
Use carbon paper to make a wood burning transfer tip. Make sure you prepare your pattern paper beforehand. Fold the pattern paper from the back. Next, use the soft lead pencil to rub the entire design area. After you have completed the transfer, you can remove the carbon paper and redraw your design. An ink pen can be used to trace your design lines. As you burn, the ink will leave a line, so be sure to follow your pattern carefully.
Although most buyers find carbon paper convenient, some customers found it difficult to use correctly. Some prefer to use the tracing paper. While it can be used to trace, you need to take care not to burn the paper. This will prevent it from fraying. The best carbon paper for wood-burning is made from traditional materials and can be reused. You can also save time as well as paper. The carbon paper is useful for many purposes. The carbon paper is usually stored in a zip-lock bag.
Photo paper
You may feel tempted to burn the entire image when you are burning a photograph. Mirroring the photo is important in order to print all text correctly. Also, don't touch the glossy side of the photo because it can smear the ink. A chartpak colorless, blender pen is available if you wish to transfer a larger photo. This pen is only $5 and is ideal for transferring lines and details.
If you're working with a smaller wood canvas, photo paper is a great option for transferring patterns. Photo paper is simple to find and can be used to replace messy carbon paper. Make sure you select a photopaper that is smooth to avoid ink absorbing. To transfer the image, place it on top of the wood.

The Razertip Transfer Shader is one of the most popular wood burning tips available. The teardrop-shaped stainless steel tip is perfect for shading and transferring heat-photocopied patterns. Three types of handpieces are available to fit different projects. Razertip can also be used as a pyrography tool to create fine line. Visit razertip.com to find out more.
Razertip pyrography pens are covered by a 1-year warranty. There are hundreds of tip options available for the pens. They are the smallest available pens, making them perfect for delicate detail-oriented work. They are built to last. The more durable models have thicker tips and connectors posts, larger pen bodies and are more resistant. These models also require a higher heating temperature and a longer cord.
Graphite pencil
A tracing paper is one of the most important things you need when using a graphite tip for wood burning transfer. This paper will serve as your guide when transferring a design to wood. First, determine the design that you wish to transfer. You have two options depending on the design: a simple one or a more complicated one. A complex design may be easier to transfer by printing it first.
Place the graphite paper with the dark side facing towards the wood. Follow the design line with light to medium pressure. Once you're done, take off the paper. After you are done, transfer the design. A beginner can draw the design without using any design paper. However, this won't be as precise as using a graphite or pencil, as the wood will become stiff.

How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
We use several methods to measure wood. We use a digital caliper (a tool used to measure distances), a laser level (used to make sure your work surface is flat), and a bubble level (used to make sure your work surface is perpendicular).
Two jaws are available on a digital scaler. One can open and the other close. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. A red dot is created by the laser. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. Laser levels are best for checking the accuracy of large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. The device will inform you if the surface is level if the bubble is in the center. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
