Just practice, I guess. Using the point, and pulling it back to get the small details along the edge of the branches. The nice thing about trees it that they are all different, and if you "mess up" you can say the wind blew the branches! you never have to be exact. Would love to see some of your work!
thank you! I did that piece several years ago, so I don't remember for sure, but I think it was (based on what it looks like in the video) Red Maple (Acer rubrum). Maples tend to be white wood, so they give good contrast to burn on. They are a hardwood, and denser than basswood or birch, so they take longer to burn, but work well overall. We live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and Maple is very dominants so we get a lot of it as scrap cut offs from the local saw mills. Hope that helps!
How long did this take you? It looks great and I myself am trying to get into more advanced wood burning, such as shading to create landscape type pictures. If you have any tips what would they be and thanks so much!!
Thank you so much! I am glad you found woodburning, and are incorporating it into your life! This was from a while back, so I don't remember exactly how long it too, but in general, it was probably around 2-3 hours to do a high detailed silhouette. Feel free to look at some of the other videos on my channel, I have posted a few "how to" videos that are primarily in real time. My best advice is practice-there is no right and wrong, just your personal style and ambition. Find what works for you and what you enjoy and keep doing it! If you ever have specific questions, feel free to ask, and I will gladly make example videos for you-If you have a question, chances are, others do too, and information should always be free.

Happy burning, best of luck to you, and please share (keep me updated) with your work!
How are you doing the strokes for the pine needles on the branches? I don’t know why but I have such a hard time doing trees!
