How to make a custom Branding Iron Logo for a standard wood burning tool. Mark out the door for your stove. We used a dremel grinder to cut out a logo design into brass.
For safety we screwed the valve back in to the top of the stove and carefully cut the door. Then place a piece of carbon paper on the wood and set the paper with the design on top of the carbon paper.

Youre going to need a few things to do this but its all pretty basic stuff. Make a design on paper or on a computer and transfer it onto your wood surface. Lets look at the pyrography systems first.
Scissors utility knife x-acto knife etc. After the wood burner is plugged in for about 5 minutes it has reached its maximum temperature which is actually too hot to put on paper. I have an old piece of railroad rail I use for an anvil and a small ballpean hammer.
