I like to draw out the full sized shape on paper. From this drawing I take my measurements and perform all the necessary calculations
Next, I decide on the pyrography design. This pattern was from a YouTube video by Ellen Walters.
I practice the design on paper to ensure I know how to draw it correctly.

I decided to make this turning from cherry. The cherry get a little darker with age but the pyrography should easily stand out. The piece is approximately 11" in diameter and 8" tall. 16 segments per ring.

I did some math to determine how many pattern repetitions would fit and look good on this turning. The magic number was 26. I drew a gird pattern and then began drawing the pattern. I used some clear, flexible plastic as a ruler to help draw around the curvature. Drawing on a curved surface can be challenging.

With the pattern all drawn in pencil it is much easier to burn the lines.
I used a skew tipped pyrography pen. The straight edge on the pen tip helps burn a straight line.
