interesting - I've never even thought of willow and it's all over the place around here (central NY). I wonder how it turns. usually I use cherry or maple because I love turning those woods (and then embellish with pyro)
What are your thoughts on olive wood if you've tried it? Im new but olive is definitely my fave wood to work on when it comes to woodworking! When cutting it, it smells like olive oil a lot
Hey, thank you so much for this video. I do have a question for you. I have a bunch of wood pallets that I cut up and I was thinking of using them to start practicing burning. I’m having a hard time figuring out if the wood is treated or not, any suggestions or recommendations?
Honestly that’s a tough one. I’ve heard that you can look up where the pallets come from and see if that industry typically treats their pallets, but I imagine that’s not fail safe. My typical approach is to try it, and if it starts making me feel weird or gives me headaches, then I stop. That can get frustrating though because you put in all the time and effort to sketch or transfer a pattern on there and to burn it. Good luck 🙌
Do you have a link for good wood to practice on? I just got a wood burn art kit, and the practice wood it came with just seems to be horrendous, especially after watching your videos.
😂 yeah, sometimes practice was not so great. I prefer plywood sheets to practice on, poplar, birch, or basswood. Here’s a link to my recommendations on Amazon, there’s a wood section if that’s helpful: www.amazon.com/shop/burnsavvy
Great video as always! I have only tried burning on aspen, poplar, and basswood and I've been wanting to try some new woods-- are there some Etsy shops you would recommend? I would love to get my hands on some willow!
I have just started burning in Dec. I have learned a lot from your videos. I appreciate your knowledge and your sharing. Is there a way to reach out to you if I have questions? Thanks again
I’m so happy my videos are helpful! I do my best to answer questions in the comments, but if you need something more in depth, or you want someone to give you feedback on some work you’re doing, our Facebook group is a great place for that. facebook.com/groups/burnsavvyacademy
What about basswood I hear a lot of wood burners say to use basswood? Which type of maple, box elder, ambrosia, silver, spalted, sugar, I know there is more but these are the one's I know.

I live in Louisiana and we have tons of willow trees. I may start cutting some and trying it out
Ooo yes! I love it! It takes quite a while to dry your own wood, but I think it’s worth it especially if you have good wood 🪵 🙌🔥

Oh cool! You’ll have to try it out
Thank you for the video and tipps! Very helpful!
Happy to help!

Olive wood is a good hardwood to burn. The common “drawback” is the gorgeous wood grain often hides the burns

Spruce? Please say yes lol
Ummmm… well… spruce is a lot like pine 🌲🙈😂

It’s on this list! Definitely among my favorites. And all kinds of maple that I’ve burned have been lovely
