Pyrography is essentially burning designs into certain materials like wood, paper, leather even bone, using some kind of heated instrument. In other words, you are creating decorative burn marks. Today, this is done mostly by using specialized burning or pyrography tools and equipment, but it can also be done by hand. The term pyrography comes from the Greek words pyr (fire) and graph (writing). It has been used for centuries to create decorative marks on wood, leather and other materials.
