Inspired by a discussion among leatherworkers who were struggling with pine cone designs, Burnett demonstrates two approaches to the subject, including a closed cone and a slightly more open variation. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe tutorial begins with printable layouts and transferred patterns before moving into swivel knife work and Burnett's use of \"cutbacks\" to clearly define where individual seed caps meet. From there, he demonstrates the use of pointed and undercut bevelers, general beveling, shaping the individual seed caps, and backgrounding. Comparing the two pine cones also shows how subtle differences in tooling can create the appearance of tightly closed or outward-turning forms. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBurnett specifically notes that these pine cones are approachable enough for beginners, making this one of the more accessible free digital patterns in the Painting Cow archive.
