First i need to ask if i can make questions reffering to carving because i would like to try make a pyrography with a nice relief carving around the theme and i dont know how i could manage to have a nice result reffering to the depth of the carving and the smoothing around it.
If you have any suggestions or internet pages that could help me it would be nice.
Thank you in advance

I did some search on my own and found an interesting site for instructions on low relief carving by Lora Irish. I think it might help newbies like myself who want to try expand their pyrography artwork and combine it with a little bit of carving.
This is the site : http://www.carvingpatterns.com/landscapes/landscapes_2.htm
Any other suggestions of other sites are mostly welcome as well as some extra advices (which are more important) by experts.
Thank you all.

Almost all of my pieces are relief carved and then burned. What you will find is that there is trade off. The more carving you do, the less burning and vice versa. I have chosen to completely minimalize the carving. I create different levels, sand them all smooth, then burn.

Thank you guys.
Hooked i just want to learn shallow relief carving in order to give a 3 dimensional feeling to some of my burnings, use it only around the theme, not detailed.
My main problem is that i don't know how to control the depth, to be the same around the sketch, and how to carve away the wood around in the same depth.
I have woodcarving tools and i've tried some time ago but if there is some special tip about these two matters i would appreciate it a lot.
