I like it ;-) I think Pyrography pens are not all that expensive
now.
If your artistic side takes over you can embellish them to your
hearts
content.

How does a pyrography pen work?

I think it's basically a mini soldering iron - presumably with
better
tip and good heat control.

That's right.
The URL which John gave had a good illustration.
In fact, in my working days I used to have a soldering iron which was
the twin of the one in the picture.

What do you call expensive in this context?
Where does one get one?

A good craft shop. Try John Body (not sure of the spelling but the
sound
is the same) at Boroughbridge.
