I found a woodburning kit with extra tips for 12.99 at Michaels ( a hobby store) and went downstairs and set up for my big experiment. I tried the tip it came with but it was very sharp and made nice cutting marks but I wanted a different more rounded , wider line.
Anyway, cooled it off and then changed the nib or tip and practiced on some paint sticks. I drew some level lines with a ruler and started marking my beautiful wooden keepsake box. It looked pretty darn good and now I will try it on other things . Very handy marking tool!
Thanks to all you who helped.
