      Circles. If you lightly touch the flow point to the wood, it will make a small circle or dot. The longer you press into the wood, the larger the dot will become. You can use this to create dots of different sizes.

      Versa-Tool: Tapered Point

      Fine Lines. Gently drag the point downward to create crisp, fine lines. Don’t use hard pressure because this point can easily bend. (Yep, this was the first point I used and I bent it immediately.)

      Text. The tapered point works great for drawing fine and intricate text.

      Grass. Because this point is so small, it doesn’t transfer a lot of heat to the wood. Therefore it can create some very fine and wispy grass.

      Fur. Much like burning grass, this fine point can create light and delicate fur strokes.

      Outlining and Details. This small point can burn intricate lines and details by lightly dragging the point across the wood.

      Stippling/Pointillism. While time consuming, this tapered point creates some very detailed stippling or pointillism. Although, because it’s so tiny, I would recommend using this on smaller projects.

      Inverted Teardrops. Lay the burner flat and gently press the point into the wood to create a tiny inverted teardrop shape.

      Versa-Tool: Calligraphy Point

      Text. As you might guess, the calligraphy point is designed for burning text in a calligraphic style.

      Crisp Lines. You can also create fine, crisp lines by burning with the edge of the sharp point.

      Grass/Fur. Use the sharp edge of the point in upward strokes to create grass or fur.

      Solid Black. Lay the burner flat and to the side, then slowly draw it to the side to block in dark areas.

      Triangles. Press the upper point of the bevel into the wood to create small triangular shapes.

      Stippling. You can create an unusual and unique stippling pattern with the upper point of the bevel.

      Squares and Rectangles. Lay the burner flat toward the wood and use the upper flat edge of the bevel to create small square and rectangular shapes.

      Consistent Lines. Gently press the flat edge of the point straight into the wood to create consistent, short lines.

      Diamond Shapes. Lay the burner flat toward the wood and gently press the upper point of the bevel down to create small diamond shapes.

      Versa-Tool: Shading Point

      Shading. Create gradients and soft shading by using the upper point of this versatile tip. Remember to set the point down gently, much like an airplane taking off and landing.

      Lines. You can also use the upper point to draw fine lines. Don’t use excessive downward pressure or you can bend the point.

      Solid Black. Lay the point flat on the wood and slowly move the point back and forth to create a rich, solid black.

      Grass. Roll the shading point to the side and use the edge in an upward motion to create blades of grass.

      Fur. Create soft or crisp fur strokes by burning back-and-forth motions with the upper point of the shading tip.

      Leaf Shapes. Gently press the flat point onto the wood to create leaf shapes.

      Stippling/Pointillism. Turn the point upside down and use the very tip to create tiny dots for stippling or pointillism.
