A lightweight wood burning tool that can burn a variety of fine lines and intricate patterns is available from Hot Tools, a division of M.M. NEWMAN CORP. The Hot Tool WB-1 Woodburner features a heating element placed directly under the tip to provide optimum heat and comfort. The woodburner is UL listed and has a varnished wooden handle that always stays cool and is tapered like an artist's brush.

The 15-specialized tips slide on over the heating element, with styles that include needlepoint, round, multi-groove and feather tip. Measuring only 6 3/4 inches and weighing under an ounce, the woodburner is ideal as a beginning carving tool.
