Hofauger House Pyrography

Description

The Hofauger House Pyrography is the first installment of my Meet Virginia Series. Wood burned by hand the house is in the field surrounded by trees and other buildings. I spent a weekend at Explore Park and took what feels like a million pictures and this one was the winner to recreate.

The Hofauger house can be seen at Explore Park in Roanoke, VA which is the home to dozens of relocated 18th and 19th century buildings taken piece by piece from their original locations.

How to take care of your Wood Burning Art:

When moving or handling your pyrography art piece, always hold it by the edges or base to avoid smudging or damaging the burned design.

Pyrography artwork is susceptible to damage from moisture. Keep your piece away from areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens, and avoid displaying it in outdoor environments where it could be exposed to rain or moisture. And dust your pyrography art piece regularly using a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth. Gently brush away any dust or debris that may have accumulated on the surface to prevent it from settling into the burned design.

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading and discoloration of the wood and the burned design. Display your pyrography artwork in a location away from direct sunlight or use UV-filtering glass if displaying it in a brightly lit area. You can add a fresh coat of polyurethane to help preserve the wood and the burned design.

When not on display, store your pyrography art piece in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Lay it flat or store it vertically with support to prevent warping or bending of the wood. And be sure to periodically inspect your pyrography artwork for any signs of damage, such as cracking, chipping, or lifting of the burned design. Address any issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.
