Return to pyrography

Pyrography is burning wood. As a child, I learned this in school.  I liked that and was good.  At the time, I had a kit with all the material.  There was a pyrography pen, some tips for the pen and some wood planks with drawing on it.  So, I was able to follow the lines and have great results.

Now, I had recently bought another pyrography pen.  It is diffent that my first one.  The feature of this new pen is the integrated holder.  I now can put it on the table, not bothering about any burned surface.  What I like less is there isn't any wood plank with drawing on them.  I am not the best in drawing.  While doing some woodburning project, there is already a smoke's smell.  I don't want to add to that smell with a paper template.  If I want to get really serious, in this situation, I will have to find a solution.

The other solution would do free hand drawing.  It limit me but I can find some plain and easy things to reproduce on the wood.  Maybe some tribal pattern or geometric pattern could be a start.  Here one simple project I had done, as I was returning to pyrography:
