Pyrography is the free handed art of decorating wood

or other materials with burn marks resulting from the

controlled application of a heated

object such as a poker.

It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning.

The term means "writing with fire",

from the Greek pyr (fire)

and graphos (writing).

It can be practiced using specialized modern

pyrography tools, or using a metal implement

heated in a fire, or even sunlight concentrated

with a magnifying lens.

"Pyrography dates from the 17th century

and reached its highest standard in the 19th century.

In its crude form it is pokerwork."
