Workflow

  1. Choose Pattern Library

    45 min

    Select geometric, Celtic, or natural texture patterns scaled to project dimensions.

  2. Mark Reference Grid

    1 hour

    Pencil light grid for pattern repeat alignment across panel surface.

  3. Burn Repeat Units

    3 hours

    Complete one repeat unit, verify alignment, then continue across surface systematically.

  4. Unify Tone and Depth

    1 hour

    Pass over lighter areas to match overall pattern density without over-burning.

Repeat MathStandard

Pattern repeats = floor(panel width ÷ unit width); adjust unit size for even fit.

Visual RhythmFormula

Slight tone variation adds life; perfect machine uniformity looks flat.

  • First Cell

    Complete and approve first repeat unit before filling panel — errors multiply.

  • Grid Light

    Heavy grid lines burn through and remain visible permanently.

  • Hand Rest

    Use palm pad to steady hand on large fill areas.

Safety Notes

  • Repetitive burning sessions require ventilation breaks every hour.
  • Hot pen resting on wood starts fires — use stand always.
