  1. I also really like doing it. It's a fun way to personalize your dama and you can make some cool tracking. 20170303_164520.jpg

    I've done it on tamas and messed around with doing it on my kens, like I've done it on beater kens. Haven't burned anything in a while though. Nice burns :D

    My friend, whenever he buys a new natty, he burns a stripe across the tama like the stodd tamas. It helps a lot with tracking and looks really cool.

  9. I have some others as well. Here's one I finished a few days ago. After this thread sparked some more ideas. Big shout out to @KeeganS took some inspiration from him. Check his insta he's done some dope ones as well! IMG_20170320_051754.jpg

    What do you use to wood burn? I have a wood burning tool/pen i bought from a crafts shop in my town. I'd love to have a pyrography kit to use but cant justify buying one just yet

  12. Same. I've seen your videos and I have one really similar to yours. It gets the job done but I definitely want something that has more juice eventually.

    Sweet! I almost exclusively use the chisel tip on mine since it does basically everything. I have a handful of beech tamas from aliexpress coming in a number of weeks that i want to use to experiment using the other tips mine came with

  14. Nice I just got a few bass wood blocks from the same craft store that I bought the burner from for practice. Great minds think alike I found a manufacturer on there as well that I get mine from.

    Wood burning is crazy fun. Kendama is what got me stoked on it, I picked it up shortly after starting kendama.

    Right now I'm burning some Ben Herald mods as gifts for some kendama players that inspire me to try newer & harder tricks or just their positive attitudes.

    First one I finished was for Alex Du Pont who plays for graintheory.

    Now I'm starting my second for Ben Herald

    After Ben's I have one more to do for another slayer who inspires me from his edits and social media.

    On my Instagram I have progress photos and I post after every session. I also stream every single woodburn on my twitch channel. I've been live streaming videogames for over 4 years and been doing kendama art on the site for about 11 months now. It's pretty chill vibes, just listening to music, watching kendama edits, and getting people who have never seen kendama stoked on it. :)

    I definitely need more natties to burn. It's been a while since I last did a big custom work. It really is crazy fun too, Kendama got me stoked on it as well.

    Just hit up some of kendama companies, They're always down to wholesale. It is a bit of a steep order to do though. Luckily I got a new job and I'm boss actually helped me buy this GT wholesale order. This is my second wholesale order actually. I've also been on a natty kick lately, with this hot weather. :)

    I found some cheap beech tamas on aliexpress that I've bought a couple times before. But all my money right now is going to the fund for MKO if it isnt being used to pay bills and such.
    Hopefully i can get some tamas from them before MKO so i can bring them with me
