Scrollsaw and fretwork are woodcrafts where intricatley shaped and tight curving cuts are cut into thin timbers to produce a variety of decorative frames, panels, brackets, components for toys models and pieces for puzzles.
The scrollsaw can also, more easily than the hand- fretsaw, cut three-dimensional pieces from thicker pieces of timber.
This three-dimensional cutting requires an outline of an object's shape, (eg its side view ) to be cut on one face of a block, then cutting another outline of the object's shape, ( eg its front view ) on another face, of the block after re-assembly and finally a third outline of the oject's shape (eg its top view ) onto yet another face of the re-assembled block. This is called three dimensional cutting and is more easily shown than described.
Pyrography is a surface treatment of timber, paper or leather using a heated wire or metal tip to produce controlled scorching marks ranging from subtle tones polishing the surface of the wood etc. to deeply engraved textural effects (pyro-engraving)
Pyrography is able to produce rendered pictorial works 'painted' on the surface by the heated tool, or engraved into it, according to the intent of the pyrographer.
Pyrography can also be used with one or the other, or a combination of these methods to decoratively embellish the surface of a crafted object.
