The use of the triangel stylus
   
 

  The triangle stylus (nr 21) is used in the first place to burn the drawing. Grass patterns are obtained by stinging the styluses into the massive wood or by scraping and then by scorching the upper part of the wood whereas the curved parts remain untouched. Relief can be obtained by pressing a lukewarm flat stylus for some time on the places where one wants to obtain a submerged effect.

 
 

  Look at the sliding movement in the air, which starts before the stylus touches the wood, to avoid a dark spot at the first contact.
