You can get a decent  soldering iron style pen for $20+, while the more versatile wire pens sell for hundreds of dollars.  Assorted wood burning tips. These will allow you greater leeway to produce lighter/heavier marks, as well as different patterns. Strop and aluminum oxide to periodically clean off the brass tips of the wood burning pen. Pliers. Clay pot or pen holder (for safety when element is still hot). The hardness of wood is rated on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the softest wood (like Balsa) and 10 being the hardest (like Padauk). For beginners, especially, the softer the wood, the better.

As it heats up, let your wood burning pen rest in a pen holding device or a clay pot to minimize the risk of accidental burning.
