What's the difference between a wood burning gun and a pyrography pen, and which should I choose?
Wood burning guns are ideal for covering large areas quickly, creating distressed backgrounds, or shading broad sections thanks to their high heat and wide tips. Pyrography pens, on the other hand, let you control temperature more precisely for detailed lines, intricate shading, and fine lettering. If your project focuses on detailed artwork or calligraphy, go with a pyrography pen. For faster coverage or rustic effects, a wood burning gun is your best bet—many artists keep both tools on hand for maximum versatility.
